<p>On 14 December, we confirmed that an initial £10 million funding had been allocated
for 19 areas, plus the Greater London Authority, under the Government’s £15 million
‘Protect Programme’. This is to provide accommodation for rough sleepers during the
pandemic in areas that required extra support throughout winter. A full list of allocations
can be found here: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fnews%2Fextra-help-for-rough-sleepers-with-drug-and-alcohol-dependency&data=04%7C01%7CParliamentary%40communities.gov.uk%7C2fd503d30a5c466d200608d8b3c2d66f%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637456996699155879%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=4qu%2Bs%2FVhHySu2SkuLrWAFAYeb8spqQeDAaeVR73uBhM%3D&reserved=0"
