Burnham Launches 'National Drive' to Get Rough Sleepers Off Streets by Christmas Prime Minister Andy Burnham has announced a new initiative aimed at helping all rough sleepers in England find a route off the streets by Christmas.
While some have welcomed this as a much needed injection of optimism and resources, others are skeptical about the government's ability to deliver on its ambitious pledge.
Burnham's plan shifts the focus from treating homelessness as solely a local issue to a national problem that requires a comprehensive approach.
