An emergency £10m fund has been launched to protect rough sleepers from cold weather this winter.

Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner pledged to tackle homelessness and said the Government would end ‘sticking plaster’ measures.

Almost 360,000 households approached their council for help with homelessness in the last year.

Rayner, who today chaired the first meeting of the cross-government group on tackling homelessness, described homelessness as ‘a national disgrace’.

‘We are approaching the harshest months of the year which is why we are taking immediate action to reach anyone sleeping rough and help them off the streets this winter,’ she said.

‘Bringing together Ministers across government is a crucial step to tackle this crisis at its root and ensure everyone has access to the basic right of safe and secure housing.’
