Homelessness and rough sleeping levels are far too high. This can have a devastating impact on those affected and harms our communities.

The Deputy Prime Minister is leading cross-government work to deliver the long-term solutions we need to get us back on track to ending all forms of homelessness. This includes chairing a dedicated Inter-Ministerial Group, bringing together ministers from across government to develop a long-term strategy. We will consider youth homelessness as part of the cross-government strategy.

We are working at pace to deliver these new initiatives, and we will update the House on progress in due course.
