Burnham's challenge to end rough sleeping
Andy Burnham has pledged to eradicate rough sleeping in England with an additional £340 million funding, aiming to build on successful programs like Manchester's A Bed Every Night scheme.

Outreach workers report rising encampments and emphasize the importance of coordinated services, including mental health and addiction support, to effectively address homelessness.
