Department for Communities and Local Government written question – answered at on 31 January 2017.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to ensure older homeless people with additional needs, such as learning difficulties, mental health issues or drug and alcohol problems, receive the necessary support.
This Government takes its commitment to preventing and tackling homelessness seriously and our approach includes support available to homeless people of all ages with multiple complex needs. Local authorities also play an important role in ensuring that vulnerable people receive the support they need.
Before Christmas the Prime Minister announced the awarding of the £50 million Homelessness Prevention Fund to local areas right across the country, this included £10 million of Social Impact Bond funding for projects to support the most vulnerable rough sleepers in the country. This builds on the successful London Social Impact Bond whichsupported people with multiple and complex needs to exit homelessness.
