Everyone In

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Everyone in was a British government initiative designed to help rough sleepers during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was widely viewed as a success.[1] It started in March 2020, with central government directing local authorities to provide space for all rough sleepers, regardless of their legal eligibility for aid. This resulted in a massive reduction in rough sleeping.[2] Government figures estimated that 33,000 people had been helped by the initiative, although these figures have been disputed.[3][1] The funding was withdrawn in June 2020.[4]

In 2021, the Kerslake Commission recommended that the level of support provided by Everyone In should be maintained in order to combat the need for rough sleeping.[5]
