To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of freezes in the housing allowance on trends in the level of rough sleeping.
Felicity Buchan
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities)
The causes of rough sleeping are complex, and it is driven by a range of factors both individual and structural, which could include changes to households' income.
The Government remains committed to ending rough sleeping within this parliament. We are investing £2 billion over 3 years to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping, including up to £500m in funding to local authorities through the Rough Sleeping Initiative, from 2022-25.
