<p>Our <em>Ending Rough Sleeping for Good</em> strategy is clear that we need a tailored
and person-centred approach to support the varying needs of those sleeping rough.
That is why our funding allows local authorities the freedom to design the services
and support required in their local areas, including bespoke support to specific vulnerable
groups such as women, LGBT individuals, people with complex needs or young people
where this is needed. Our Rough Sleeping Initiative, which is supported by over £547
million, funds a range of local schemes around the country including women’s only
services, bespoke support for young people, and Housing First projects for people
with complex needs.</p><p>We are also investing £200 million through the Single Homelessness
Accommodation Programme (SHAP) and £433 million through the Rough Sleeping Accommodation
Programme (RSAP) to deliver homes and support services for people sleeping rough or
at risk of sleeping rough. SHAP includes a focus on young people and people with complex
needs.</p><p>The Government remains focused on eradicating rough sleeping for good
and we continue to work closely with local government, charities, and the private
sector to support this ambition.</p>
