Labour government provides more funds for Enfield to tackle rough sleeping
New funding, announced today by the Labour Government, will provide a huge boost in tackling rough sleeping in Enfield. The additional funding comes as Ministers treble emergency support this winter.
Councils in the North Central London region, including Enfield Council will receive a total of £3,027,008, in addition to a share of £300,000 paid to the Greater London Authority, to help more rough sleepers off the streets and provide warm beds this winter thanks to new emergency funding given to local councils today.
The Rough Sleeping Winter Pressures Funding, a government scheme to increase the use of emergency accommodation for rough sleepers, will be tripled from £10million to £30 million. The cash will go directly into areas with record levels of rough sleeping, ultimately saving lives and supporting thousands of vulnerable people in society facing the cold weather.
Over 280 councils will now have extra resources at their disposal to support frontline workers providing vital services on the ground, which will see more people sleeping rough into safe and secure accommodation with warm beds, hot meals and medical treatment.
The new funding will also continue supporting specialist programmes for vulnerable groups sleeping rough including veterans, care leavers and victims of domestic abuse. This is alongside giving life changing support to people who have slept rough long-term, with critical outreach staff helping to address substance abuse and provide employment opportunities.
Labour’s Ayten Guzel, Cabinet Member for Housing, said, “Under the Conservatives rough sleeping reached record highs – it was a tragedy for those involved, a disgrace for a wealthy country like ours, and a failure that put lives at risks and drained taxpayers’ money.
“But Labour is picking up the pieces and putting it right. We are tackling the housing crisis locally, through building more homes, and with this huge boost to emergency funding from a Labour government we can ensure that all rough sleepers on the streets will have somewhere to go, a warm bed to sleep in at night, and somewhere to feel safe, whilst we secure longer-term accommodation.”
“Whilst we can’t turn Britain around overnight, new and additional financial support packages to Enfield like this one has meant that change has begun – and we will play our part in supporting the Government to get this country back on track.”
A sharp rise in rough sleeping in recent years represents a complete failure in the housing crisis inherited by the government, with almost 360,000 households approaching their council for help with homelessness over the last year.
Today’s emergency cash injection is just one branch of the government’s Plan for Change to raise living standards for working people and families, deliver the biggest boost in affordable and social housing in a generation, and strengthen rights and protections for tenants.
It builds on the largest-ever investment in homelessness prevention services of almost £1 billion for this year, including over £185 million for the Rough Sleeping Prevention and Recovery Grant, so councils can better prioritise when providing warm beds and shelter for people at risk, or experiencing, rough sleeping.

This is alongside more than £37 million for the Rough Sleeping Accommodation Programme that will cover ongoing costs to help rough sleepers into longer term housing and secure more specialist staff supporting their mental health and substance abuse problems.
One of the leading causes of homelessness, Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions, will be abolished for new and existing tenancies through the landmark Renters’ Rights Bill which is now another step closer to becoming law following last week’s third reading.
Through overdue reforms to the Right to Buy scheme councils can now retain all receipts from sales to build and buy more homes as well as receiving an additional £450million last year to secure and create homes for families at risk of homelessness.
Government investment in housing has now increased to £5 billion for this year, including an extra £500 million for the existing Affordable Homes Programme to build tens of thousands of affordable homes across the country.
