‘PM’s aim to end rough sleeping by Christmas is great – but what comes after?’

The prime minister has pledged to provide every rough sleeper in England with a safe route off the streets or broader support. To achieve this, Downing Street will allocate an additional £432m in the upcoming budget, raising total funding for a lasting solution to nearly £900m. Simultaneously, Andy Burnham is doubling spending on ending rough sleeping to almost £900m by the end of the current parliament to ensure people are off the streets by Christmas.
