Councils to share ￡12m rough sleepers' fund

摘要

A ￡12m scheme to provide mental health support for rough sleepers has been launched. New NHS-led teams will see doctors and nurses coordinating treatment and support with councils and other local organisations. Birmingham, Brighton, Hull, Lincoln, Luton, and the London boroughs of Lambeth and Haringey are the first areas to benefit with at least 20 areas with high levels of rough sleeping to share in ￡12m of funding over the next five years.
