On 14 December, we confirmed that an initial £10 million funding had been allocated for 19 areas, plus the Greater London Authority, under the Government\u2019s £15 million \u2018Protect Programme\u2019.

A full list of allocations can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/extra-help-for-rough-sleepers-with-drug-and-alcohol-dependency<\/a><\/p>

The Cold Weather Fund has been made available to all local authorities and we asked that they submit their proposals by the 4 December.

Tackling homelessness and rough sleeping in all its forms is a key priority for this Government and we have taken huge steps this year, working with local authorities and their partners to protect vulnerable rough sleepers during the pandemic.<\/p>

We do not have an age breakdown of the people accommodated during the ongoing emergency response but the \u2018Everyone In\u2019 campaign has supported over 29,000 vulnerable people, with over 10,000 in emergency accommodation and nearly 19,000 provided with settled accommodation or move on support.<\/p>

We have also put in place bespoke support for local authorities through our Homelessness Advice and Support Team, which includes dedicated youth homelessness advisor roles that have a commitment to work with local authorities to proactively promote positive joint working across housing authorities and children\u2019s services, offering training, advice and support to all local authorities.<\/p>

This year we have provided £90,000 to St Basil\u2019s to fund Youth Voice, a training scheme for 40 young homeless people across the country. Youth Voice includes the Youth Homelessness Parliament which provides insight and advice to Government on issues affecting young homelessness people.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4487", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Rochester and Strood"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Kelly Tolhurst"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2021-01-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-01-11T16:27:08.27Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2020-12-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Homelessness: Coronavirus"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many homeless people who have been provided emergency accommodation in response to covid-19 outbreak were (a) aged under 15 years, (b) aged 16 to 17 and (c) aged 18 to 24.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4433", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Thangam Debbonaire"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bristol West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Thangam Debbonaire"} ], "uin" : "130772"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1271658", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1271658/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We consulted publicly on the objectives of the Freeports policy and have set out clearly in the Freeports Bidding Prospectus what these are and how bids will be assessed against them. This includes explicitly stating (in Section 5) how information requested from bidders will be marked, how these marks will be weighted, and how bids will qualify for the appointable list.

The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) will help to level up and create opportunity across the UK.<\/p>

Funding for the UKSPF will at least match receipts from EU structural funds, on average reaching around £1.5 billion per year. Its funding profile will be set out at the next Spending Review.<\/p>

The Government recognises that there has been market disruption. That is why on 31 July a two-month extension was announced to the Help To Buy building completion deadline from 31 December 2020 to 28 February 2021. The legal completion deadline for the purchase remains 31 March 2021. However, the Government also announced some additional flexibility to protect existing reservations made before 30 June 2020. These sales, by agreement with Homes England, must reach practical completion by 30 April 2021 and legal completion no later than 31 May 2021. More information can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/news/help-to-buy-scheme-extended<\/a> . There are no plans to extend the current Help to Buy scheme beyond 31 March 2021 and a new two-year Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme for first time buyers commences on 1 April 2021.
