uin	HL5796
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2022 answer text <p>The Government is committed to tackling homelessness in all its forms. The Homelessness Reduction Act is helping more people get help sooner to prevent homelessness, and since it came into force nearly 450,000 households have had their homelessness successfully prevented or relieved through securing accommodation for more than 6 months. In 2021-22 Local Authorities received £375 million through the Homelessness Prevention Grant - a £112 million increase on the previous year - which can be used to offer financial support for people to find a new home, to work with landlords to prevent evictions, or to provide temporary accommodation to ensure families have a roof over their head. This includes a one-off £65 million to help support vulnerable renters with Covid-19 related rent arrears to avoid eviction or find a new home in order to prevent homelessness. The Government will be spending over £2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the next 3 years, with multi-year funding enabling local partners to better plan services and maximise efficiencies - demonstrating our commitment to build on recent progress.</p> answering member printed Lord Greenhalgh question first answered 14/02/2022 12:45:12 answering member 4877 label Biography information for Lord Greenhalgh
