📣 Today we are announcing £105 million to ensure that rough sleepers and vulnerable people in emergency accommodation do not return to the streets 📣

🔹This will help support people to secure tenancies or short-term accommodation before moving into a long-term home (1/4)
🔹We know that many people will need more personalised support, so we are also making a further £16m available for substance misuse services this financial year, so that vulnerable people currently in emergency accommodation can access the specialist help they need (2/4)
🔹Frontline charities, faith groups and councils, backed by Gov funding, have helped nearly 15,000 rough sleepers and vulnerable people into safe accommodation. This has undoubtedly saved lives. We could not be more grateful to everybody who has helped make this happen (3/4)
🔹This new funding is on top of the £433m announced to provide 6,000 long-term, safe homes for vulnerable rough sleepers.

🔹We have set out our ambition to end rough sleeping. This is a moral mission for us. This action today will help ensure it is delivered. (4/4)
