answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2018 answer text <p>We treat all hate crime with equal seriousness; there is no place for treating victims differently regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation, disability or gender identity. Our funding of projects reflects this approach and that is why we fund a number of initiatives that combat hate crime across all five strands and do not allocate specific funding to target specific areas. Our work to combat religiously motivated hatred tackles anti-Muslim hatred and anti-Semitism, alongside hatred directed at any person or group based on their religion.</p><p>Since 2010 the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has provided £3.7 million to local projects to challenge hate crime. We expect to spend a further £1.5 million by March 2018. This includes support for programmes such as the Anne Frank Trust's Switch<br>Off Prejudice programme which encourages young people to consider the consequences of prejudice, persecution and discrimination, support for community organisations such as Tell MAMA and the Community Security Trust, and establishing the Hate Crime Support Group which networks organisations tackling hatred across all five protected categories to share best practice and offer the best support for victims.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 21/03/2018 17:29:47 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2018 answer text <p>The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government publishes regular statistics on rough sleeping, statutory homelessness and homelessness prevention and relief in England. These are published at a local authority level. The latest statistics can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/homelessness-statistics" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/homelessness-statistics</a></p><p>England has a strong homelessness safety net, providing protection to the most vulnerable in our society so they always have a roof over their heads.</p><p>In 2011, we changed the law so that councils can place families in decent and affordable private rented homes. This now means homeless households should not have to wait as long for settled accommodation.</p><p>The law is also clear that households with dependent children should only be accommodated in Bed and Breakfast (B&amp;B) in an emergency and then for no longer than 6 weeks.</p><p>Our Homelessness Advice and Support Team, drawn from local authorities and the homelessness sector, is supporting councils throughout England and providing targeted challenge. There are some councils who are successfully reducing the number and length of time families are spending in B&amp;B accommodation; we expect areas in similar situations to follow their example.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 19/03/2018 17:01:44 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
