Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to provide homes to homeless people in the UK.

This Government is clear that no one should be without a roof over their head. In 2020/2021 we are providing a further £437 million to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping.?This marks a £69 million increase in funding from the previous year.

The Government is committed to increasing the supply of affordable housing and has made £9 billion available through the Affordable Homes Programme to March 2022 to deliver approximately 250,000 new affordable homes in a wide range of tenures, including Social Rent. This helps us prevent people from falling into homelessness while also supporting more people into homeownership.

Since 2010, we have delivered over 464,500?new affordable homes, including over?331,800?affordable homes for rent.
