Article summary

The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government has revealed that the government is to provide £105m to provide interim support for 15,000 rough sleepers who were accommodated during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The funding will be used to help rough sleepers ‘secure their own tenancies, as well as provide short-term housing’ while the delivery of long-term housing solutions continues. The extra £105m takes the total amount provided in 2020 by the government to support rough sleepers to more than £500m.
