Continue to provide funds to councils to help the homeless during Covid 19
It has recently been reported that the government in England have decided not to continue providing funds to local councils specifically for helping the homeless during the Covid-19 crisis. I am calling for this funding to continue.
Our government needs to continue to provide this funding to help the homeless during this crisis. While the rest of us are still in lockdown the government have decided they will no longer provide much needed specific funds, resulting in councils confirming they cannot continue to help when the funding stops. I'm calling on the government to helping the most vulnerable in our society at this awful time.
