Burnham Pledges £100m and Cross-Society Push to Clear Rough Sleepers by Christmas

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham pledged an additional £100m to tackle rough sleeping this winter, urging councils, charities, faith groups, and businesses to help get everyone off the streets by Christmas. The effort mirrors the pandemic-era "Everyone In" initiative. Burnham, who conceded government money "may not fully get us there," plans an autumn summit to secure cross-sector commitments.
