answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2020 answer text <p>On 13 October, the Government announced additional support for rough sleepers this winter, giving local areas the tools they need to protect people from cold weather and the risks posed by COVID-19. This builds on the existing package of support and funding and includes: a new £10 million Cold Weather Fund for local areas to bring forward self-contained and COVID-secure accommodation; and, a new £2 million Transformation Fund for the faith, communities and voluntary sector to move away from their traditional communal models. Regarding communal spaces, we have published operating principles for the sector, produced with Public Health England and Homeless Link, which should be observed in any area where a shelter is required to open as a last resort, where not doing so would endanger lives.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 22/10/2020 11:26:12 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
