answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2017 answer text <p>Time spent in temporary accommodation ensures no family is without a roof over their head.</p><p>Local authorities should secure accommodation within their own borough so far as is reasonably practicable and take into account the impact a change in location would have on a household, including the possible disruption to jobs and children’s schooling. It is for the local authority to determine the suitability of accommodation on a case by case basis.</p><p>But we know we need to do more. This is why we are implementing the most ambitious legislative reform in decades, the Homelessness Reduction Act, in April 2018, which will ensure that more people get the help they need earlier to prevent them from becoming homeless in the first place.</p><p>We have also replaced DWP’s Temporary Accommodation Management Fee with a Flexible Homelessness Support Grant which local authorities can use more strategically to prevent and tackle homelessness. This amounts to £402 million over the two years from 2017/18.</p><p>Devolving the funding to local authorities will improve incentives to move families out of temporary accommodation and into settled accommodation more quickly, and with more certain upfront funding local authorities will be able to tackle homelessness more pro-actively, pushing the balance of the investment away from crisis intervention and towards prevention.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 11/12/2017 17:24:11 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones

The Home Officeis responsible for administrative removal operations.</p><p>We expect people who come to this country to be able to support themselves, and if they cannot find work or accommodation then they should return home. For vulnerable individuals who are sleeping rough on the streets, there are locally funded reconnection services available to help them return to their home countries voluntarily and connect into support services there. In London, the Greater London Authority commission the London Reconnection Team, which is targeted at non-UK nationals with support needs.</p><br /> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones grouped question UIN 15936 question first answered 16/11/2015 14:14:14 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones
