The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the value for money review of homelessness services announced in the Budget 2025 policy paper, (a) when this review is expected to begin and conclude and (b) what consultation will take place with voluntary-sector organisations delivering homelessness services.

Answered by James Murray

The review will commence in 2026, with the outputs considered as part of the Spending Review 2027.

The review will be a collaborative effort across government departments and external expertise will also be used to inform a comprehensive assessment of homelessness services. This will include expertise from frontline services, local government, and other voluntary and charity sector organisations.
