	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2018 answer text <p>We recognise the importance of providing personalised support and its role in helping people who are rough sleeping or have a history of doing so.</p><p>As this is a devolved issue, MHCLG does not cover homelessness and housing policy in Wales and therefore, the following information relates only to England.</p><p>In August, we announced funding for ‘navigators’ who will support individuals from their first contact with services through to settled accommodation and will be able to make use of personalised budgets where appropriate. We recently launched a prospectus for our Rapid Rehousing Pathway, which will include navigators and we expect early adopters to start delivering in early 2019.</p><p>We are also funding seven Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) to work with long-term rough sleepers who have multiple complex needs towards positive accommodation, employment and health outcomes. The SIB model includes a personalised budget that can be flexibly used to best support individuals to maintain their accommodation and improve their wellbeing.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 30/10/2018 13:33:11 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

These interventions have worked in the past, and will work again.</p><p>To support this, the Government has also funded the London Training Academy to deliver assertive outreach training this Autumn to staff working with rough sleepers across England. The training will seek contributions from practised outreach workers and people with lived experience, sourcing materials including case studies and short films, creating a course that reflects good practice from across England, covering rural and urban areas.</p><p>The Government is committed to halving rough sleeping by 2020 and ending it by 2027 and this training will allow outreach workers to work this autumn to reach vulnerable people and make an impact on rough sleeping numbers immediately.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 15/10/2018 16:22:18 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognises that the ending of an assured shorthold tenancy is biggest cause of homelessness. The Government is committed to protecting the rights of tenants and giving them more security.</p><p>We have published a model tenancy agreement which landlords and tenants can use as the basis for longer, family friendly tenancies, available for free at <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/model-agreement-for-a-shorthold-assured-tenancy" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/model-agreement-for-a-shorthold-assured-tenancy</a>. And the measures announced in the Housing White Paper resulted in many of the largest build to rent operators offering their tenants the option of longer tenancies.</p><p>Also, this week we have launched the £20 million Private Rented Sector Access Scheme to support those who are, or at risk of homelessness. This access scheme will help those people sustain tenancies.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 15/10/2018 16:23:11 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
