<p>This Government is committed to protecting the most vulnerable in society. One
person without a home is one too many. That is why since 2010 we’ve invested more
than £500 million to prevent and tackle homelessness in England. It is for London
boroughs to determine what homelessness services are required to best meet the needs
of their local area, including provision of suitable accommodation. We have given
the Mayor of London £34 million to deliver pan-London rough sleeping services, with
an extra £8.5 million for this work in 2015/16. Our measures include supporting the
roll-out of No Second Night Out across England through the £20 million Homelessness
Transition Fund, and commissioning the pioneering StreetLink service. In London, two-thirds
of rough sleepers in London come off the streets after a single night.</p><br />
