Extend funding to protect rough sleepers amid the coronavirus pandemic
I want the government to ensure that Rough sleepers in England will not be left to go back onto the streets when there is still a deadly virus out there!
While it's commendable that over 5,400 people have been given safe temporary accommodation, the job isn’t done and the virus isn’t gone!
Councils were given £3.2m in March to provide emergency shelter for homeless people however it has been reported that the government recently said it would not allocate any extra funding.
It is the council's job to ensure that the homeless people are not left to go back onto the streets knowing there is still a deadly virus out there!
Every human is entitled to safety during a pandemic, don’t let the council take their safety away.
