Protect the homeless during lockdown 3 with extension of the Everyone In scheme.
The government have confirmed rough sleepers will NOT be given emergency housing throughout the third coronavirus lockdown.
During the first lockdown about 15,000 homeless people were provided with emergency housing through the government's 'Everyone In' scheme. This saved lives. It ended in May.
The government have confirmed rough sleepers will NOT be given emergency housing throughout the third coronavirus lockdown.
During the first lockdown that began in March 2020, around 15,000 homeless people were provided with emergency housing through the government's 'Everyone In' scheme. This saved lives. It ended in May.
Homeless charities Centre Point and Crisis have both urged the government to reboot the scheme at a time when temperatures are dropping and infection rates are rising with the highly transmissible new strain of coronavirus at large.
Urge the government to restart the scheme and ensure everyone has a safe place to stay during this frightening time.
