Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced a £432m boost to the rough‑sleeping programme, aiming to offer support to every rough sleeper by Christmas. The funding was presented at a rough‑sleeping summit in Downing Street and will extend the initiative until the end of the current parliament.
Official figures estimate that 4,793 people were sleeping rough on a single night in autumn 2025 in England. Communities Secretary Angela Rayner said the government will work with charities and local authorities to deliver routes off the streets, while Burnburn highlighted the need for continued investment to sustain the effort.
