<p>My Department asked all local authorities to provide information on their rough
sleeping cohort in order to support local authorities to make offers of accommodation
to as many people who required it to reduce the risk faced by some of the most vulnerable
in society.</p><p>At the beginning of this crisis, local authorities across England
provided an estimate of the total number of people sleeping rough and in accommodation
with communal sleeping spaces, such as night shelters, and have then updated us on
the total number of people who have had offers of accommodation made available to
them.</p>
