Hopkins Unveils £65m Extra Funding To Tackle Homelessness

Housing Minister Kris Hopkins and Communities Minister Stephen Williams have announced £65 million of funding for councils and other organisations to tackle homelessness around the country. Hopkins said: "People at risk of homelessness need more than just a roof over their head. They also need help with their education, employment and health so they have the right skills, confidence and opportunities to succeed. That’s why this government has increased spending on preventing homelessness and why we’ve worked hard to ensure that homelessness acceptances are now lower than in 27 of the last 30 years.” Read more on 24dash.
