Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what progress his Department has made towards ending veteran homelessness.
To date, the Government has committed nearly £30m towards ending veteran homelessness, including:
£20m capital housing fund over three years to provide extra housing for veterans through the development of new builds and the refurbishment of social and charitable housing.
£500k to fund Op FORTITUDE, a dedicated referral scheme to provide a single central point for local authorities, charities and housing providers to support homeless and rough sleeping veterans, in addition to over £7.2m to fund specialist help for veterans in more than 900 veteran supported housing units.
