Rough Sleeping Plan Gets £432m Boost

The UK government has announced a significant increase in funding to tackle rough sleeping in England, with Prime Minister Andy Burnham pledging to double the budget to help get every rough sleeper off the streets by Christmas.

The additional £432m will be revealed in the upcoming Budget on Wednesday, bringing the total funding to an undisclosed amount. This increased investment aims to provide a comprehensive solution to the issue of rough sleeping, which has been a persistent problem in England.

The plan is part of a broader effort to address homelessness and provide support to those in need. The government's goal is to ensure that every rough sleeper has access to a safe and stable living environment by the holiday season.
