<p>No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why this Government has committed
to halving rough sleeping by 2022 and eliminating it altogether by 2027. A new Rough
Sleeping and Homelessness Reduction Taskforce is bringing together relevant ministers
from across Government, and will drive forward the implementation of a cross-Government
strategy to tackle this issue. They are being supported by an Advisory Panel made
up of experts from local government and the homelessness sector.</p><p>We have allocated
over £1 billion through to 2020 to prevent and reduce all forms of homelessness including
piloting a Housing First approach for some of the most entrenched rough sleepers.</p><p>
