The government took unprecedented steps to protect rough sleepers during the pandemic, launching the ‘Everyone In’ initiative. The Government is determined to build on the success of this, helping make sure people continue to have a safe place to stay and can begin to rebuild their lives with wrap-around services and care.
The Minister visited New Hope’s Haven in Whippendell Road, which focuses on providing humanitarian aid. Following this he was shown around New Hope’s Sanctuary site, where staff and volunteers work to support people at a critical moment, helping prepare them to move into longer-term supported accommodation.
The visit ended at One YMCA, which received £2.2 million in government funding to provide an additional 34 self-contained studios for local individuals who were previously homeless. Ensuring that everyone has a roof over their head is crucial, and the Government is committed to ending rough sleeping once and for all during this Parliament. An additional £2 billion has been committed over the next three years to tackle rough sleeping and being able to show the exemplary work taking place in Watford means this work can be replicated nationally.
