Prime Minister Andy Burnham is launching a bold, Christmas-by-deadline campaign to end rough sleeping in England, pledging an extra $100 million on top of existing funds to provide immediate shelter and vital support—including medical care and addiction treatment—to anyone who wants it. Drawing on the success of the pandemic’s “Everyone In” initiative, Burnham argues that homelessness has become normalized—and now, local leaders will have flexibility to tailor solutions. While campaigners applaud the move, experts warn that without tackling root causes like housing shortages, people will inevitably fall back into homelessness. Though some may still be on the streets by December, Burnham’s administration aims to restore national unity and urgency, making this the most ambitious push yet—despite past broken promises from previous leaders.
