tabling member printed	Lord Roberts of Llandudno
uin	HL3068
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2022 answer text <p>Under the Homes for Ukraine scheme, we would like as many sponsors as possible to extend their sponsorship beyond six-months and we are providing guidance for those who cannot continue sponsoring. At the 4-month mark we are writing to sponsors and guests about the options available to them, helping them to plan their next steps.</p><p>To support Ukrainians that want to stay in sponsorships for a longer period, but with a different host, we are enabling a process of rematching and will continue to develop our bank of potential sponsors. We are also helping guests to live independently by supporting them in developing necessary language skills and finding jobs.</p><p>For arrivals under the Homes for Ukraine Scheme, the Government is providing funding per person to councils to enable them to provide support to individuals and families, including in the minority of cases where someone is left without accommodation. This tariff to support the delivery of services is the same across the whole of the UK.</p><p>Further to the above, we have provided councils in England with £316 million this year to help prevent and meet the costs of homelessness. Homelessness is a devolved matter.</p> answering member printed Baroness Scott of Bybrook question first answered 14/11/2022 16:17:27 answering member 4553 label Biography information for Baroness Scott of Bybrook
