tabling member constituency	Solihull
tabling member printed	Julian Knight
uin	151157
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2022 answer text <p>The Government is committed to ending rough sleeping and has made excellent progress on its manifesto commitment. The most recent snapshot published in February 2022 showed the number of people sleeping rough is at an 8-year low and has almost halved since 2017. By December 2021, we had also helped over 40,000 people into longer-term accommodation.</p><p>The West Midlands, as well as Solihull specifically, have successfully bid for Rough Sleeping Initiative (RSI) funding in 21/22. The West Midlands region was awarded £8.168 million of which Solihull was awarded £271,870. Bids for RSI funding in 2022-25 are currently being considered. West Midlands and Solihull have also been successful in bidding to deliver homes through the Rough Sleeping Accommodation Programme (RSAP). RSAP's key objective is to provide 6,000 move-on homes and accompanying support services to those who are rough sleeping, or who have a history of sleeping rough. The West Midlands Combined Authority is also one of three sub-regional Housing First pilot areas.</p> answering member constituency Walsall North answering member printed Eddie Hughes question first answered 25/04/2022 16:48:49 answering member 4635 label Biography information for Eddie Hughes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2022 answer text <p>The transfer of Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) functions to a combined authority mayor can offer wider levers to prevent crime.</p><p>Mayors with broader responsibilities, including PCC functions, can enhance collaboration, joint working, and align public service delivery strategies to boost local outcomes.</p><p>With an expanded role comes a higher public profile, visibility, and greater ability to bring about local change. As set out in the Levelling Up White Paper, where possible, the Government will look to have combined authority mayors exercise PCC functions where boundaries align and will take steps to remove barriers to more combined authority mayors taking on these functions.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 25/04/2022 14:01:04 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
