We have also worked closely with Public Health England and NHS England to ensure people who have been brought in from the streets in response to the Covid-19 pandemic have their health needs and care needs met. Local authorities continue to have statutory duties to help people identified as homeless, or threatened with homelessness in their area, including rough sleepers.<\/p> Our ongoing support to rough sleepers has been shown to have protected many extremely vulnerable people from the risk of Covid-19 and ultimately will have saved lives. According to research by UCL, published in the Lancet, preventative measures taken by the Government may have avoided 21,092 infections, 266 deaths, 1,164 hospital admissions and 338 intensive care (ICU) admissions of homeless people.<\/p> We know that the reasons people sleep rough are complex and that they require support as well as accommodation. On Monday we also announced allocations of £23 million for substance misuse treatment and recovery services for people rough sleeping or at risk, backed by an additional investment of £52 million next year. This will enable us to support more vulnerable people with substance misuse needs, to enable individuals to access the support they need to rebuild their lives off the streets and move towards longer-term accommodation.<\/p>"}
