The Prime Minister's Office said on 25 October 2026 that the Prime Minister is confident everyone sleeping rough will be offered a route off the street or wider support before Christmas. A further £432 million is to be set out at the Budget that week, taking total investment behind the commitment to £874 million and extending support beyond March 2027 to the end of the Parliament, according to the announcement.
The release said specialist outreach teams and new bedspaces are operating in Coventry, with further provision being rolled out in Plymouth and Camden over the coming weeks. A first Rough Sleeping Summit at Downing Street brought together businesses, charities, housing providers and local leaders.
Pledges listed included the National Housing Federation working with housing associations to identify at least 2,000 potential homes and bedspaces, and Salvation Army work on social housing and modular accommodation. Morrisons Foundation pledged £500,000 in grants through a Good Food Fund, and the release cited a £10 million commitment from the Julia Rausing Trust and £500,000 of match funding from the Henry Smith Foundation with Birmingham City Council.
