The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps her Department is taking to support veterans affected by homelessness.

Answered by Rushanara Ali

We have increased funding for homelessness services and supported veterans to access social housing by exempting them from local connection tests for social housing in England.

The Deputy Prime Minister is chairing an Interministerial Group, which includes the Veterans Minister, to develop a long-term cross-Government strategy to end homelessness.
