To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the effect of changes to local authority funding on levels of homelessness.
Mr Marcus Jones
This Government has always been clear that we are committed to supporting the most vulnerable people in our society. One person without a home is one too many. During the last Parliament the Homelessness Prevention Grant and our investment in homelessness programmes helped prevent 935,700 households from becoming homeless.
We have protected the homelessness prevention funding that local authorities receive, totalling £315 million by 2019-20. This builds on our commitment to increase central government funding for homelessness programmes to £139 million over the next four years.
