Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether funding for the Rough Sleeping Initiative will continue after April 2025.

The Government is committed to addressing current high levels of rough sleeping and deliver long term solutions. We will look at these issues carefully and will develop a new cross-government strategy, working with mayors and councils across the country to get us back on track to ending homelessness once and for all.

As announced by the Chancellor on 29 July 2024, spending plans for 2025-26 will be set alongside the Budget on 30 October 2024. Following departmental review and processes, funding allocations for rough sleeping services will be announced via gov.uk.
