More than 90% of rough sleepers known to councils had been offered accommodation where they could self-isolate by the beginning of May 2020 a little over a month after the initiative began.

Even after those nose-to-the-grindstone weeks were over, rough sleeping numbers in England for a single night in autumn 2020 were down 37% on the year before .

This is a major priority for the Deputy Prime Minister, which is why she is leading a cross-government group to deliver the long-term solutions we need to get us back on track to ending all forms of homelessness.’ They added: We are also working closely with local authorities and organisations like Migrant Help to ensure individuals leaving asylum accommodation after being granted refugee status or leave to remain receive support to mitigate risks of homelessness.’ Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at [email protected].
