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

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham pledged an extra £100m to tackle rough sleeping this winter, calling on councils, charities, faith groups, and businesses to get everyone off the streets by Christmas. The plan mirrors the pandemic-era "Everyone In" scheme. Burnham admitted government funding "may not fully get us there" and will host an autumn summit to secure broader commitments.
