    Communities Secretary Sajid Javid sets out a bold cross-government plan of action to significantly reduce the number of people sleeping rough.



    New Rough Sleeping Team to drive reductions in rough sleeping

    Targeted £30 million fund for 2018 to 2019 for local authorities with high levels of rough sleeping

    Latest action is part of the government’s ongoing work to halve rough sleeping by 2022 and eliminate it by 2027

    Communities Secretary Sajid Javid today (30 March 2018) set out a bold cross-government plan of action to significantly reduce the number of people sleeping rough as the Homelessness Reduction Act comes into force next week.

    Based on proven activity that has helped deliver substantial decreases before, this further action will have a rapid impact on rough sleeping now and represents major progress towards the government’s commitment to halve rough sleeping by 2022 and eliminate it altogether by 2027.

    The new package of measures – which builds on government action to date – includes:

    a new Rough Sleeping Team made up of rough sleeping and homelessness experts, drawn from, and funded by government departments and agencies with specialist knowledge across a wide-range of areas from housing, mental health to addiction

    a £30 million fund for 2018 to 2019 with further funding agreed for 2019 to 2020 targeted at local authorities with high numbers of people sleeping rough; the Rough Sleeping Team will work with these areas to support them to develop tailored local interventions to reduce the number of people sleeping on the streets

    £100,000 funding to support frontline Rough Sleeping workers across the country to make sure they have the right skills and knowledge to work with vulnerable rough sleepers.

    In addition, the government is also working with the National Housing Federation to look at providing additional, coordinated move-on accommodation for rough sleepers across the country. This builds on the existing 3,750 ‘clearing house’ places already provided in London

    Communities Secretary Sajid Javid said:

    This winter has tragically claimed the lives of a number of people sleeping on the streets. This is completely unacceptable in modern Britain.

    No one should ever have to sleep rough and this government is determined to break the homelessness cycle once and for all.

    Tackling the causes of rough sleeping is undoubtedly complex but we must do all we can - working across central and local government, the voluntary and charity sector - to help the most vulnerable in society and eliminate rough sleeping for good.

    The Homelessness Reduction Act is the most ambitious legal reform in decades and places new duties on councils to prevent and relieve homelessness, including for single homeless people who are at greater risk of sleeping rough.

    The new package of measures announced today provides cross-government support and funding for local housing authorities to drive a significant reduction in rough sleeping.

    Departments across government are working to support the Act and make sure there is sustained progress on the commitment to halving rough sleeping by 2022 and eliminating it all together by 2027.

    This package of new measures will be supported by the:

    Department of Health and Social Care - which will make available experts in mental health and drug treatment services to help support the new outreach teams, including in hostels

    Ministry of Justice - which will focus on making sure prison and probation work with local authorities and outreach teams to identify prisoners and offenders serving community sentences who are at risk of sleeping rough

    Home Office - will encourage the policing sector to work in partnership with local authorities on rough sleeping, including enforcement where appropriate, and to identify and share best practice

    Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport - which will work in partnership with MHCLG to explore opportunities for new Social Impact Bonds that build on the success of existing programmes providing effective and innovative support to rough sleepers

    The government is taking significant action to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping through:

    £1.2 billion investment in various programmes, including protecting core funding of £315 million to local authorities for their work on homelessness, and an additional £617 million in Flexible Homelessness Support Grant funding, which councils can use to work more strategically to prevent and tackle local homelessness pressures

    piloting the Housing First approach - working with the Metro Mayors in the Liverpool City Region, Greater Manchester and the West Midlands, to support rough sleepers with the most complex needs

    a new cross-government taskforce supported by a panel of homelessness experts, charities and local government that is driving forward a new national strategy to be published in July that will make life on the streets a thing of the past

    investing £9 billion to build more affordable housing, including new council homes

    up to £135 million of dormant assets will be directed to Big Society Capital for them to deploy into a substantial programme of investment in housing for vulnerable people including those most at risk of homelessness or rough sleeping; the first investment opportunities in this programme will be launched in the autumn

    Further information
    Further detail is available on gov.uk

    The Homelessness Reduction Act comes into effect on 3 April 2018. Read more information on the Homelessness Reduction Act.

    Clearing Houses provide supported housing in London for people with a history of rough sleeping. All properties are self-contained 1-bed or studio flats and are provided by housing associations.

    In January, the Secretary of State for Culture announced that up to £135 million of dormant assets would be directed to Big Society Capital (BSC). BSC are currently developing a strategy to deploy the majority of this into a substantial programme of investment in housing for vulnerable people including those most at risk of homelessness or rough sleeping

    All those words and not one acknowledgement that rough sleeping has increased 169% under the Tories.

    The North West last year saw the biggest rise in rough sleeping in the whole country by 34%. Rough sleeping in the North West has quadrupled under the Tories.

    It's encouraging that options are being investigated to make properties accessible for individuals with a history of rough sleeping, yet we have to know what number of homes will be provided. A Housing First approach has been demonstrated to dramatically reduce rough sleeping in other countries and assignment writing uk must be at the core of any unpleasant dozing procedure.

    We feel that the Government should execute a cross departmental national rough sleeping strategy. This would drive a planned Assignment Writing Service Australia way to deal reducing and ultimately accomplishing the objective of ending rough sleeping.

    a very good initiative and needed step for UK residents. Given the need, paying someone to do assignment, plainly every one of the understudies should set themselves up to get stacked with advancing exposition composing and other scholastic or academic requirements and essentials to overcome the term effectively.

    an extremely decent activity and required advance for foreign. Given the need, paying somebody to do the task, clearly, all of the understudies should set themselves up to get stacked with propelling work making and other

    We appreciate the work Government has done there but I think there is proper arrangement required for such rough sleepers so that they could sleep there easily. By the way, as a strict Government, I like the first work they have done there.

    If the loan’s break-even point is 10 months, and you plan to keep your mortgage for at least 1 year, refinancing probably makes sense. However, if you’ve had your current mortgage for a long time, the break-even calculation how to calculate gross rent multiplier begins to show a flaw.
