Burnham announces drive to get thousands of rough sleepers off streets for Christmas
The plan adds £442 million for emergency accommodation, practical support and more than 1,000 permanent homes, officials said.
- Prime Minister Andy Burnham launched a national drive this week to "offer everyone a route off the streets this Christmas," building on his pledge to end rough sleeping.
- Replicating the coronavirus pandemic's "Everyone In" scheme, the government aims to house thousands, having previously protected 37,000 people in hotels and prevented an estimated 266 deaths.
- Housing Secretary Angela Rayner announced £102 million in new funding, complementing the £340 million allocated last month to "help thousands of people leave the streets behind."
- Though Shelter chief executive Sarah Elliott praised the move as a "game-changing move," Shadow Housing Secretary Sir James Cleverly questioned the delivery plan, citing Burnham's record in Manchester.
- This autumn, Burnham will host a national summit bringing together leaders from business, finance, and faith communities to determine their roles in ending rough sleeping.
