In particular, we are supporting 84 projects through our Homelessness Prevention programme across a variety of areas, ranging from core cities, to coastal towns, to rural areas.</p><p>We are also providing £28 million to pilot Housing First in three major regions of England.

However, it will also drive action to reduce wider homelessness and will have within its remit issues such as prevention and affordability.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 16/01/2018 15:17:58 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
