That is why we have recently published our Rough Sleeping Strategy, which will help people who sleep rough now and puts in place the structures to end rough sleeping once and for all. It sets out the first steps towards achieving our aim to halve rough sleeping by 2022 and end it altogether by 2027, backed by £100 million of funding over the next two years.</p><p>We have set up a Rough Sleeping and Homelessness Reduction Taskforce which brings together ministers from key departments in preventing and reducing rough sleeping and homelessness, including the Department for Health and Social Care. The Taskforce will drive forward the implementation and delivery of our Rough Sleeping Strategy to achieve our commitment. Alongside the Taskforce, we have an expert Rough Sleeping Advisory Panel formed of key representatives from the homelessness sector and local government who fed into the Strategy and will continue to meet.</p><p>We are also committed to working with all local authorities as we move towards a country where no one should ever sleep rough through our Rough Sleeping Initiative, in which we are providing 1,750 additional bed spaces for rough sleepers and an additional 531 dedicated homelessness workers. We are also working with local areas through measures set out in our Rough Sleeping Strategy such as the Rapid Rehousing Pathway, strengthening local homelessness strategies and supporting Health and Wellbeing Boards to recognise and respond to the health needs of people who sleep rough.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 22/11/2018 16:08:07 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2018 answer text <p>In both cases the councils’ proposals included well developed business cases, providing clear evidence of estimated costs and savings. The former Secretary of State considered these when concluding that these proposals fully met the criteria for implementing mergers and unitarisations as set out in my statements to the House on 26 February and 22 March. How savings are used and value for money achieved most effectively will be matters for the new councils, which are accountable to their local electorates.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 07/06/2018 15:39:38 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL6110
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2018 answer text <p>One person without a home is one too many and we are determined to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping.</p><p>Local authorities have powers and strong incentives to tackle empty homes, and through the New Homes Bonus they earn the same financial reward for bringing an empty home back into use as building a new one. To go even further, we recently announced proposals to strengthen the powers available to local authorities to tackle empty homes which mean that local authorities will be able to charge a 100 per cent council tax premium (currently 50 per cent) to homes that have been empty for more than two years.</p><p>In order to place homeless households into settled accommodation more quickly, we changed the law in 2011 to allow councils to place families in decent and affordable private rented homes.</p><p>The Rough Sleeping and Homelessness Reduction Taskforce will drive forward the implementation of a cross Government strategy to achieve our commitment of halving rough sleeping by 2022 and eliminating it altogether by 2027. The Taskforce met for the first time on 7<sup>th </sup>March and we will publish the strategy by July this year.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 20/03/2018 15:41:38 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
