<p>The Government has been in contact with representatives of itinerant travellers
to understand their concerns and seek to overcome barriers to accessing the EBSS Alternative
Funding. We have been unable to establish a robust method for households in caravans
not on permanent sites to prove that their caravan is their main or sole residence,
whilst protecting public funds against fraud. We recommend that these households should
contact their local authority to apply for the Housing Support Fund and also visit
the ‘Help for Households’ webpage on GOV.UK to view what other support they may be
eligible to receive - <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhelpforhouseholds.campaign.gov.uk%2F&data=05%7C01%7CParliamentary.PQ%40energysecurity.gov.uk%7C16d23bd93f574e00bfa808dbaebbd805%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C638295894020827178%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=l3PART7dChSulIMw%2BH2Oe%2F1Qpfzj3TEgb08RwHVe%2Fcs%3D&reserved=0"
