answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2019 answer text <p>On 9 May the Government announced a fund for the remediation of unsafe Aluminium Composite Material cladding on all high-rise (over 18 metres) residential private sector buildings in England, excluding those which have had a warranty claim accepted. Where leaseholders have had to pay for remediation, the building owner or the managing agent on their behalf would be eligible to apply to the fund for a refund for those costs that would qualify under the terms of the fund. In this scenario, any funding agreement will contain a condition that ensures that funding is provided only on the basis that leaseholders are fully reimbursed. We will write to all potential fund applicants by the middle of May to start engaging them, and publish the full fund application guidance and criteria by mid-July.</p><p>In the meantime, my officials have been in contact with the managing agents for Paddington Walk. They are also in regular contact with the London Borough of Westminster.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 09/05/2019 13:08:20 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why last summer we published the cross-government Rough Sleeping Strategy. This sets out an ambitious £100 million package to help people who sleep rough now, but also puts in place the structures that will end rough sleeping once and for all.</p><p>We have now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period. In its first year, our Rough Sleeping Initiative provided over 1,750 new bed spaces and 500 staff. This year we have expanded the RSI with investment of £46 million for 246 areas – providing funding for an estimated 2,600 bed spaces and 750 staff.</p><p>I commend the work that St Mungo’s and Homelessness Link are taking forward in this area. Deepening our understanding of homelessness, and its causes and consequences, are key to us tackling this issue. It is for this reason, we are undertaking a review of housing-related support services in order to build a comprehensive picture of current arrangements and how support and housing fit together.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 09/05/2019 13:25:41 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
