answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 answer text <p>The information requested could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p><p><br> It is vital that everyone leaving prison has somewhere stable and secure to live. Having somewhere stable to live acts as a platform for ex-offenders to be able to access the services and support needed to turn their back on crime for good. Published statistics for 2017/18 showing the accommodation status for all offenders released from custody and offenders on community sentences can be viewed here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/729062/accommodation-cirumstances-tables-2018.xlsx" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/729062/accommodation-cirumstances-tables-2018.xlsx</a></p><p><br> As part of the Government initiative to reduce and ultimately eliminate rough sleeping across England, we will invest £6.4 million over two years in a pilot scheme to help ex-offenders into accommodation from three prisons, namely Bristol, Pentonville and Leeds. The pilots will focus on male prisoners who have served shorter sentences, who have been identified as having a risk of homelessness.</p><p><br> Furthermore, as of the 1 October 2018, Prisons and Probation providers have a “Duty to Refer” anyone who is homeless or at risk of becoming homeless to the Local Authority. Following a referral, Local Authorities are then required to make an assessment, meaning offenders can receive meaningful housing assistance at an earlier stage irrespective of their priority need.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 16/01/2019 16:00:38 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

tabling member constituency	Dwyfor Meirionnydd

uin	207612
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>The 10 Prisons Project received an initial £10m of funding to fight drugs, improve security and decency, and bolster leadership capability in the 10 priority prisons. Funding has not been diverted from the wider estate to achieve this, and we do not anticipate that there will be any adverse effects on other prisons.</p><p> </p><p>The 10 Prisons Project provides us with an opportunity to test what works and will therefore serve as a template for the wider estate, helping to inform priority areas for future investment and development. Successful interventions will be shared as widely as possible, with these prisons leading the way rather than being the limit of our ambitions.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 21/01/2019 10:43:03 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
