Keep the homeless sheltered. We say “No” to removing the financial assistance

The government will not extend funding to help rough sleepers in England stay off the streets amid the coronavirus pandemic, it has confirmed. This is not what the people of England want and we want out homeless cared and protected

Additional Information

Councils were given £3.2m in March to provide emergency shelter for homeless people, with many housed in hotels. The Government must find alternative funding to keep the homeless off the streets during and beyond COVID-19.
