<p>One person without a home is one too many, and nobody should ever have to sleep
rough. That is why we have increased central investment to tackle homelessness over
the next four years to £139 million, including a new £10 million fund to support innovative
ways to prevent and reduce rough sleeping, and a new £10 million Social Impact Bond
to support rough sleepers with the most complex needs.</p><p>We recognise that the
needs of female rough sleepers can be different from male rough sleepers, and we expect
local authorities to commission services to meet the needs of all those in their local
areas. Many commission female-only homelessness projects, which offer women the essential
facilities and support they need.</p><p> </p>
