Calls intensify for ministers to house rough sleepers during second lockdown

Labour’s shadow housing secretary Thangam Debbonaire has written to her Tory counterpart Robert Jenrick calling on him to restart the Everyone In initiative, which began in March.
Under the scheme, councils and charities helped 15,000 rough sleepers into emergency housing during the first national lockdown.
