.</p><p>This strategy sets out the work that is underway, including the joint commitment
of both the Home Office and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities
to ensure “everyone experiencing rough sleeping to have an appropriate and timely
offer of support, tailored to their needs and the services they are eligible for,
and that all agencies have the tools they need to unlock this support.”</p><p>The
Strategy is backed by vital funding of £2 billion over three years.</p><p>Police officers
can reference the ASB toolkit, with specific pages on Rough Sleeping which is produced
by the National Police Chiefs Council. The Government are considering what further
guidance is required alongside work on the repeal and replacement of the Vagrancy
Act.</p>
