answer text <p>This 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 which 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. Already, this has provided over 1,750 new bed spaces and 500 staff– this means there are more people in warm beds tonight as direct result of government funding.</p><p>In all, the Government has now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period. Since the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 was enacted on 3<sup>rd</sup> April 2018 local authorities have been allocated £346 million. The table below highlights the amount of funding issued to local authorities in each of the years prior to the Homelessness Reduction Act being enacted:</p><table><tbody><tr><td rowspan="2"><p><strong>Programme Name</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>09/10</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>10/11</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>11/12</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>12/13</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>13/14</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>14/15</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>15/16</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>16/17</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>17/18</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>18/19</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Preventing Homelessness Visible Core</p></td><td><p>52.432</p></td><td><p>52.237</p></td><td><p>90.340</p></td><td><p>90.340</p></td><td><p>79.950</p></td><td><p>78.753</p></td><td><p>78.727</p></td><td><p>78.688</p></td><td><p>78.993</p></td><td><p>78.941</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Preventing Homelessness</p></td><td><p>9.015</p></td><td><p>10.067</p></td><td><p>20.970</p></td><td><p>0.920</p></td><td><p>4.122</p></td><td><p>3.338</p></td><td><p>10.663</p></td><td><p>5.598</p></td><td><p>51.074</p></td><td><p>44.744</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Flexible Homelessness Support Grant</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>186.000</p></td><td><p>192.197</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Rough Sleeping Initiative</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>30.000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>61.447</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>62.304</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>111.310</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>91.260</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>84.072</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>82.091</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>89.390</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>84.286</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>316.067</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>345.882</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table>

answer text <p>Only registered housing providers are exempt from selective licensing. This is to ensure that all privately rented accommodation is properly regulated. We take this approach to ensure that high standards are maintained in all rental properties and all tenants are protected. Almshouse Charities are free to register as providers of social housing and some 25 per cent already are. Where almshouses decide not to register, local authorities have discretion to discount or waive fees associated with the licensing process.</p><p>Going forward, the Government has commissioned a thorough and independent review into the effectiveness of selective licensing. This is on schedule to report in Spring 2019. The Department will consider the outcomes of the review carefully, including how selecting licensing works for local communities and charitable organisations.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Successful asylum seekers who are granted refugee status are eligible to be allocated social housing. Where they apply for social housing, they will have their housing needs considered on the same basis as other eligible applicants in accordance with the local authority’s housing allocation scheme.</p><p>The Regulator of Social Housing’s standards (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/regulatory-standards" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/regulatory-standards</a>) include a requirement for tenants’ homes to meet the government’s Decent Homes Standard. In the Social Housing Green Paper, we asked whether the Decent Homes Standard should be reviewed. We also invited views on whether new safety measures introduced in to the private rented sector should apply in the social rented sector. We expect to set out the government’s response to the Green Paper in Spring 2019.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Homelessness Reduction Act is the most ambitious reform to homelessness legislation in decades and placed new duties on local housing authorities to take reasonable steps to try to prevent and relieve a person’s homelessness. Acting earlier and for a broader range of people means more people will get the help they need before they face a homelessness crisis. We have committed to reviewing the implementation of the Act, including the resourcing of it and how it is working in practice for a wide group of people, by March 2020.</p> more like this
