Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support initiatives such as National Supported Lodgings Week which raise public awareness of family-based housing options for care leavers, young people at risk of homelessness and separated migrant children.
We recognise the vital support provided by hosts in supported lodgings for children and young people.
The Government is committed to tackling homelessness. We have invested over £1 billion in homelessness and rough sleeping services this year, which can be used flexibly to address a range of local needs, including support for young people.
