Homelessness and Sleeping Rough: Harlow
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what progress her Department has made on tackling rough sleeping and homelessness in Harlow.
- Answer
-
In March there were zero families in B&Bs over 6 weeks in Harlow and Epping Forest council areas, and there were zero people sleeping rough long-term in Epping Forest or Uttlesford in June. This indicates that encouraging progress is already being made in Harlow.
In the Rough Sleeping Programme funding allocations, we announced £752,600 for Harlow to further these efforts and ensure that everyone sleeping rough has a route off the streets by Christmas.
