Burnham rough sleeping Christmas pledge

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has pledged a national drive to offer all rough sleepers in England a route off the streets by Christmas, likened to the Covid-era “Everyone In” initiative. The plan includes £442m in funding, and Burnham has urged local leaders to act. Homelessness campaigners welcomed the move but said more needs to be done.
