Sleeping Rough: Greater London
- Question
-
Her Majesty's Government which London borough has the highest number of people sleeping rough; what is their estimate of that number; and what was the corresponding number in 2010.
- Answer
-
Nobody should ever have to sleep rough. We have already allocated £30 million of funding specifically to support rough sleepers, including people at risk of sleeping rough, new rough sleepers and those with the most complex needs - our ambition is to halve rough sleeping by 2022, eliminating it by 2027.
DCLG publishes regular statistics on rough sleeping. This is available by local authority (the latest figures are attached) at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/rough-sleeping-in-england-autumn-2016
