Homelessness fears grow

摘要

Fears that rough sleepers will again become a fixture on Britain's streets have emerged as the successful Everyone In programme comes to an end. Communities secretary Robert Jenrick, who briefed council and charity leaders on the launch of a cross-Whitehall strategy for treating the underlying causes of rough sleeping last week, is believed to have insisted that 'Everyone In continues' but Whitehall officials have confirmed to The M/that the programme is 'technically ending'. A Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) spokesperson said: 'In line with the economy opening and restrictions ending there will be a move away from bringing everyone in off the streets.' Chief executive officer at homelessness charity SMART CJS, Anita McCallum, claimed some councils had already drawn their Everyone In programmes to a close by cancelling all hotel and hub provision.
