Stoll: Housing

Question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many (a) emails and (b) phone calls the Office for Veterans Affairs has received from (i) the Stoll Foundation and (ii) veterans housed at Sir Oswald Stoll Mansions since January 2023.

Answer

The Office for Veterans’ Affairs have and will continue to engage with Stoll regarding the sale of Sir Oswald Stoll Mansions and the support being provided to residents during the transition period.

I am committed to ensuring that no veteran is sleeping rough due to a lack of provision, which is why the Government has dedicated nearly £30 million towards the provision of veteran housing.

This includes the single referral pathway for homeless veterans, Op FORTITUDE, that received £500,000 of funding, which is part of a broader £8.55 million of funding for specialist help and wrap-around support for veterans in more than 900 supported housing units.

This Government remains committed to making the UK the best place in the world to be a veteran.
