Conclusion
The Department described these 3,300 homes as “move-on” accommodation, although it made clear its assumption that residents would stay for an average of two years before needing to move on somewhere else. It did not clarify what its plans were for where they would move on to at the end of this period.79

The government accepted the implicit recommendation to clarify move-on plans, stating they will provide further details on routes out of the Rough Sleeping Accommodation Programme into other forms of housing and will write directly to the Committee by May 2021.
