	answer	answer answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>This Government is committed to preventing and tackling homelessness. According to the latest publication of the Quarterly Statutory Homelessness Statistics, (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/statutory-homelessness-in-england-january-to-march-2014" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/statutory-homelessness-in-england-january-to-march-2014</a>), homelessness remains lower than in 27 of the last 30 years.</p><p> </p><p>But we are not complacent. We have increased spending on schemes to prevent homelessness, making over £500million available to help the most vulnerable in society.</p><p>No assessment has been made of the impact of the Housing Benefit (Habitual Residence) Amendment Regulations 2014 on homelessness and rough sleeping or on victims of domestic violence and their ability to secure a place in a refuge.</p><p /> <p /> <p>EEA jobseekers have not previously been eligible for homelessness assistance and this will remain the situation.</p><p>New EEA jobseekers will still be able to get some state support, but it is right that this is limited. In such cases, adults responsible for children can claim income-based Jobseeker's Allowance for a period and in certain circumstances may be able to apply for support from the Local Authority. In particular Local Authority support is subject to statutory criteria e.g. under section 17 of the Children Act 1989 (for a child in need and their family) or section 21 of the National Assistance Act 1948 (provision of accommodation in certain circumstances).</p><p> </p><p>The Department is actively monitoring the impact of the recent changes to Housing Benefit regulations relating to EEA migrants, using Management Information and administrative data and through research with Local Authorities.</p> question first answered 23/06/2014 14:43:39 answering member 3893
