Communities across England are set to receive thousands of pounds to ensure nobody is forced to sleep on the streets for more than one night. Nineteen communities are being awarded up to £250,000 each to tackle homelessness. Administered by umbrella organisation Homeless Link, the Fund received 193 applications from charities wanting to protect key homelessness services and adopt initiatives like No Second Night Out. Currently running as a pilot in London, No Second Night Out is a standard the Government would like to see adopted in every area. It involves having services in place so people sleeping rough are quickly identified with the help of the public and provided with accommodation and support. Read more on the Homeless Link website.
