New Housing Secretary announces three pilot projects to tackle rough sleeping
The launch of three new pilot projects to support rough sleepers has been announced by new Housing Secretary, James Brokenshire, in one of his first moves. After funding for the Government’s Housing First Pilots was first revealed in the Autumn Budget, the three new pilot projects will be based in Greater Manchester, the Liverpool City Region and the West Midlands Combined Authority. Based on Housing First, an internation- ally proven approach to supporting rough sleepers into long-term accommodation, the projects will offer individuals support to recover from complex health issues, such as substance abuse and mental health difficulties, and aid them in sustaining their tenancies.
Housing Secretary James Brokenshire
said: “The evidence shows Housing First has an incredible rate of success in providing rough sleepers with the support they need to get off the streets and to rebuild their lives.
“We are investing over £1.2bn to break the homelessness cycle, but we know there’s more to do to help people off the streets for good. This is why the Government is leading the way in implementing Housing First in England.”
HOUSING FIRST: A ‘TRIED AND TESTED APPROACH’
Housing First is a ‘tried and tested’ approach to tackling long-term rough sleeping that puts the emphasis on finding individuals a secure and affordable home to live in, while providing them with expert support. In Europe, Housing First projects have been successful at ending homelessness for at least 8 out of 10 people in the scheme. By contrast 40-60 per cent of users of hostel- based accommodation with complex needs leave or are ejected before their homelessness is resolved.
