	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2019 answer text <p>This Department has policy responsibility for setting the national framework for housing, including homelessness and rough sleeping in England.</p><p>The Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why last summer we published the cross-government Rough Sleeping Strategy. This sets out an ambitious £100 million package to help people who sleep rough now, but also puts in place the structures that will end rough sleeping once and for all. The Government has now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period.</p><p>Ahead of the Rough Sleeping Strategy we announced a new Rough Sleeping Initiative in order to have an immediate impact on reducing the levels of rough sleeping. Measures within the initiative include:</p><ul><li>a cross-government, multi-disciplinary new Rough Sleeping Team;</li><li>a £30 million fund for 2018-19 for local authorities with high number of people sleeping rough, providing over 1,750 new bed spaces and 500 staff;</li><li>a further £46 million fund for 2019-20 to help tackle rough sleeping, providing an estimated 2,600 bed spaces and 750 staff;</li><li>£100,000 funding to support frontline Rough Sleeping staff across the country and equipping them with the right skills and knowledge to work with vulnerable rough sleepers.</li></ul><p>In April 2018 the Homelessness Reduction Act, the most ambitious legislative reform in decades came into force. The Act transforms the culture of homelessness service delivery. It placed new duties on local housing authorities to take reasonable steps to try to prevent <br> and relieve a person’s homelessness.</p><p>In 2018/19 the West Midlands received £25 million to support the delivery of homelessness services. This includes £1.4 million to pilot the Housing First approach with their most entrenched rough sleepers; £90.909 to boost the support offer for vulnerable veterans who are, or at risk of becoming homeless; £1.8 million as part of the Rough Sleeping Initiative; and £1.4 million in new burdens funding to implement the Homelessness Reduction Act.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 17/04/2019 14:28:35 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to building a housing market which works for everyone. We recognise that for too many people home-ownership is un-affordable. Addressing this affordability challenge requires building the homes our country needs. That is why we intend to deliver 300,000 homes per year, the largest annual increase in housing supply since the 1970s. Since 2010, over half a million households have been helped to purchase a home through government backed schemes, including Help to Buy and Right to Buy. The recent Evaluation of Help to Buy: Equity Loan from 2015 to 2017 found that 63 per cent of first-time buyers benefiting from the scheme were under 35 years old. Building on this, the 2017 Autumn Budget announced a new stamp duty land tax relief benefiting 95 per cent of first time buyers who pay it – over 18,500 have been helped so far.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 17/04/2019 13:17:39 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

The Government is already committed to reviewing the energy performance and accessibility standards in Building Regulations and as part of its plan to implement the findings of Dame Judith Hackitt’s independent review of Building Regulations and fire safety, the Government is putting in place a programme to review the guidance which supports the Building Regulations.
