answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/09/2017 answer text <p>The number of empty homes is at its lowest since records began in 2004. In May 2010 over 300,000 homes in England had been standing empty for longer than 6 months. As of October 2016 the number of long-term empty properties had fallen to 200,145. Local authorities have powers and strong incentives to tackle empty homes. Through the New Homes Bonus they earn the same financial reward for bringing an empty home back into use as building a new one. Councils may also charge up to 150 per cent council tax for homes empty for over two years.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 25/09/2017 11:21:25 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma previous answer version 11891 answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>This Government remains committed to ensuring people always have a roof over their heads. We recognise that employment and social enterprise opportunities are key factors to help people avoid homelessness and secure a sustainable place to live and build personal resilience. That is why we have embarked on an ambitious programme, working with local areas and across government, to fundamentally reform the response to homelessness – putting prevention at the heart of this approach.</p><p>Part of this is our £50 million Homelessness Prevention Programme which will deliver an end-to-end approach to prevention across 84 projects working in 205 district and unitary local authorities in England. Some projects are actively supporting households into work in order to reduce the risk of them becoming homeless.</p><p>We have also invested £15 million to improve outcomes for young people through the Fair Chance Fund. This funding is turning around the lives of around 1,900 18 to 25 year olds with complex and overlapping needs, by supporting them into training, employment, accommodation and education.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 12/09/2017 11:06:55 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>Only three applications had been received by October 2016 which proved insufficient for a meaningful assessment to be made. The Department did not therefore carry out a formal review of the changes to selective licensing introduced from April 2015. Since then we have received a further number of applications and will soon be in a position to undertake a review. I will ensure the findings of the review are placed in the Library when it is complete.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 19/07/2017 13:57:26 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma previous answer version 4339 answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
