I would be hugely grateful of you could provide me with answers to the following that relate to the Everyone In programme, which aimed to move rough sleepers in accommodation and support them (as part of the COVID-19 response):

1. How much funding did your council receive from MHCLG as part of the initial ‘Everyone In’ programme (March 2020)?
Wokingham Borough Council received £204,305 in Next Steps Accommodation Programme (NSAP) funding. Breakdown below:
£167,098 - Accommodation costs
£23,184 - Private Rented Sector Access Fund
£14,221 - Bespoke Winter accommodation and support

2. Between the start of Everyone In (26/03/2020) and the 31st March 2021, what was the total spend on sustaining the support for rough sleepers as part of Everyone In (i.e., keeping people in accommodation, providing services they needed)?
Wokingham received £74,350 as part of Rough Sleeper Initiative (RSI) allocation 2020/2021 to commission outreach work, 1st stage accommodation in-reach, supported lettings and housing led support for rough sleepers and former rough sleepers. This was used to support rough sleepers as part of ‘Everyone In’.

3. Please list all of the additional funding sources that you have used between 26/03/2020 and 31/03/2021 to support this effort? (i.e., if your council spent more on ‘Everyone In’ than the initial funding provided, where did this come from?).
Wokingham Borough Council also received MHCLG Cold Weather Fund 20/21 and Protect Plus Fund. Shortfall of accommodation costs were absorbed by the Council's Central Covid fund and the annual homelessness prevention grant.

4. How many people were housed under ‘Everyone In’ in your council area?
As of 27th April 2021, Wokingham Borough Council has housed 82 people using discretionary powers in response to ‘everyone in’

5. How many of these have been re-settled?
32.

6. And how many have returned to rough sleeping (at the time of completing this request)?
None.
