Responded Fri 25 September 2020I am currently emailing with regards to an information request that I would like to be processed under the terms of the FOI act
On 24th June 2020, the Government announced an additional £105 million would be spent on keeping rough sleepers off the street and to assist those at risk of homelessness.
