Felicity Buchan
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities)
This Government remains committed to ending rough sleeping and tackling homelessness.
In September 2022, we published a bold, new strategy available here: Ending Rough Sleeping For Good. The strategy sets out cross government action to end homelessness and rough sleeping, including over £2 billion of investment over three years.
Cambridgeshire County and Cambridge City councils have been allocated over £10 million funding from April 2023- March 2025 through the Rough Sleeping Initiative, Homelessness Prevention Grant and Rough Sleeping Accommodation Programme.
