DLLUHC told us that 790 Ukrainian households taking part in the scheme were currently in temporary accommodation, and 8% were either experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness at any particular time.28 We asked DLUHC how it would respond in the event of an increase in the levels of homelessness or risk of homelessness for those taking part in the scheme, particularly given the severe pressures on levels of homelessness in the general population. It told us that it was conscious of the housing pressures being faced by local authorities and had recognised this by providing extra funding to precent homelessness. It explained that in many cases homelessness had been prevented or subsequently dealt with by local authorities using the homelessness prevention money.29 Thank you payments for sponsors
