</p><p>Everyone should have a safe and suitable home to live; having somewhere to
live gives people a stable platform from which to access health services, hold down
a job and reduces the likelihood of them reoffending. In keeping with this the Government
published its Rough Sleeping Strategy in August 2018, launching a £100 million initiative
to reduce and ultimately eliminate rough sleeping across England.</p><p> </p><p>Our
reforms to probation are designed to encourage long-term rehabilitation and ultimately
reduce reoffending – and the first step in this is ensuring that everyone leaving
prison has access to secure and stable accommodation. We are improving support for
offenders leaving prison with a £22 million investment in through-the-gate services
which will help to strengthen ties with key partners, including the third sector,
local authorities and the police.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Female Offender Strategy
sets out our vision and plan to improve outcomes for women in the community and custody.
We want to see fewer women coming into the criminal justice system, a greater proportion
managed successfully in the community, and better conditions for those in custody.</p><p>
