An additional £30m in emergency funding has been allocated to councils in England to help prevent evictions and support rough sleepers.

The funding will be targeted at 295 areas that are facing the highest risks of homelessness through housing costs and rent arrears.

Minister for Homelessness, Rushanara Ali said: ‘No one should be forced live in constant fear of losing their home and too many people are being pushed to the brink of homelessness as a direct consequence of the system we’ve inherited.

‘That’s why I’m providing an extra £30m in emergency support for councils– taking real, immediate action to stop people falling through the cracks, stay in their homes, and help them rebuild their lives.’
