John Glen – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Communities and Local Government

The below Parliamentary question was asked by John Glen on 2016-10-18.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what recent steps his Department has taken to help rough sleepers and homeless people.

Mr Marcus Jones

One person without a home is one too many. That is why we launched a new £40 million Homelessness Prevention programme to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping.

This will enable authorities to support vulnerable people, preventing them from becoming homeless, and ensuring those who do have somewhere safe to stay.
