The spring spending review initially revealed that £2 billion will be allocated over the next three years to pay for the proposals.
A further 2,400 long-term supported homes for those with the most complex needs, including young people, will also be delivered by March 2025 through a £200m accommodation programme.
The plans will be paid for with £2bn of funding over the next three years which was initially announced in the spring spending review.
Of this sum, £764m has been allocated to councils and government partners.
It said this would be achieved through an extension of the Rough Sleeping Initiative which began in 2018, Housing First, and using local services to meet the health and housing needs of people living on the streets.
The government says the funding will “exhaust all options” to ensure no one leaves a public institution – such as hospitals, prisons, the care or asylum systems, or the armed forces – for the street.
Pilots in the West Midlands, Manchester, and Liverpool will be extended.
Leveling Up Secretary Greg Clark said: “Ending rough sleeping in this parliament is an important manifesto commitment.
“We’ve made great strides towards that goal in the last few years and today’s strategy backed by £2bn of support will give some of the most vulnerable people in our society a roof over their heads and targeted support so they can rebuild their lives.
“The full weight of government is behind this very necessary pledge and this landmark strategy will give us the right tools to identify people at risk of rough sleeping earlier and provide the help they need.”
Rough sleeping minister Eddie Hughes added that the government “will pull every lever at our disposal so councils, working hand in hand with the voluntary, faith and community sectors, can intervene swiftly when someone is sleeping rough”.
Homeless Link, the national membership charity for frontline homelessness organizations in England, said the strategy is a “step in the right direction”.
But Polly Neate, chief executive of Shelter, called the plan a “missed opportunity”, adding: “It’s good that this strategy recognises that, fundamentally, not being able to afford anywhere to live is the main driver of homelessness.
“It’s disappointing that it does next to nothing to address it. In the face of a major crisis – with people already struggling to keep the lights on and pay their rent – this plan is wholly inadequate.”
