Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what plans he has to supporting Help to Rent projects to enable more people to rent privately.
My Department has committed £20 million of funding to schemes that will support those who are, or are at the risk of homelessness or rough sleeping, to access or sustain private rented tenancies.
We have also set aside £28 million to fund 3 regional Housing First pilot schemes, which will offer permanent homes to homeless people.
