A record of how many homeless veterans supported into accommodation is not held centrally.

Up to £8m has been committed to the Reducing Veteran Homelessness programme which launched on 21 April. This programme is designed to fund veteran supported housing providers across the UK to address veterans homelessness and rough sleeping through the provision of specialist services such as mental health or employment support.

An additional £500k was provided to support Op FORTITUDE, the new referral pathway for veterans experiencing or facing homelessness.
