<p>The Government is clear that no one should be without a roof over their head. That is why we have committed to end rough sleeping within this Parliament and to fully enforce the Homelessness Reduction Act.</p><p>Adverse weather conditions can be felt keenly amongst rough sleepers. In periods of severe weather, Severe Weather Emergency Provision (SWEP) can be triggered and local authorities work closely with charities to provide accommodation and support to rough sleepers. <br> <br>In response to Storm Ciara, the Government is working closely with local authorities to agree activity to mitigate the impacts of the storm, including the implementation of continuity plans. Irrespective of the storm, people who are sleeping rough or at risk of sleeping rough can approach their local authority for support. Local authorities have a duty to work to actively relieve people of their homelessness or to prevent homelessness for people at risk.</p>
