answer text <p>The Department for 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.</p><p>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>The Government remains committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why we are aiming to halve rough sleeping by 2022 and eliminate it altogether by 2027. To achieve this, we will set up a new homelessness reduction taskforce that will focus on prevention and affordable housing, and we will pilot a Housing First approach to tackle entrenched rough sleeping.</p><p>We are also implementing the most ambitious legislative reform in decades, the Homelessness Reduction Act, which will ensure that more people get the help they need earlier to prevent them from becoming homeless in the first place.</p>

answer text <p>Following the Chancellor’s announcement of the Business Rates Relief Schemes at the Budget, on 9 March the Department published a Business Rates Information Letter to local authorities. This provided information on each of the three schemes including draft allocations for the discretionary relief scheme and guidance on the Supporting Small Business Scheme. On 10 March the Department began discussions with a group of local authorities and the main software suppliers to discuss the implementation of the schemes and system requirements.</p><p>The Department has continued to engage local authorities and software suppliers, encouraging authorities to speed up implementation and publishing the technical guidance for the Supporting Small Business Scheme and Pubs Relief Scheme on 20 June. However, local authorities have overall responsibility for awarding and maintaining contracts with their software providers and for ensuring value for money. While authorities have been able to manually identify eligible businesses for the Supporting Small Business Scheme since March, some authorities chose to wait for a full software update that enabled them to automate this process.</p><p>I met software providers on 12 July and agreed that the software update would be provided to authorities by 21 August at the latest. The update was released by all of the main software providers by this date. On 14 September I made a Written Ministerial Statement, which set out the good progress made by some authorities and a commitment to publish a list of authorities that have rebilled across all three schemes. This has now been published and is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/business-rates-relief-schemes-2017-rebilling-progress" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/business-rates-relief-schemes-2017-rebilling-progress</a></p><p> </p>
