stable and affordable accommodation, Housing Secretary Rt Hon James Brokenshire

the West Midlands Combined Authority will offer individuals intensive support

based on Housing First, an internationally-proven approach to supporting rough
sleepers into long-term accommodation. Funding for the government’s Housing
First Pilots was announced at Autumn Budget. Read more on the Gov UK website.
