What is the Everyone In scheme?
The Everyone In scheme provided temporary accommodation, including hotels, for homeless people and rough sleepers when the coronavirus pandemic first hit.
A University College London (UCL) study found that the scheme, which moved nearly 15,000 homeless people into emergency accommodation in March and April, saved tens of thousands of England’s most vulnerable people from catching Covid-19.
However, the scheme ended in May and did not begin again when homelessness charities made calls for it to return during England’s second national lockdown in November.
Jon Sparkes, chief executive of homelesness charity, Crisis, said at the time: “With a new lockdown imminent, the UK government must bring ‘Everyone In’ back in England with ring-fenced funding for local councils to provide Covid-safe accommodation for anyone experiencing or at risk of rough sleeping.”
Getting acoustic insulation right in Material Change of Use
We’re seeing boom times for building conversions, especially when it comes to creating new apartments in existing non-domestic buildings.
Not surprising when you consider how the reduced demand for traditional office space, coupled with the retail world increasingly shifting from the high street to out-of-town and online, has resulted in many more valuable commercial buildings standing empty.
This creation of new homes is certainly welcome in helping to tackle the UK’s chronic shortage of housing. According to the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), housing stock levels in England increased only slightly in 2019 by 1%. But this included 26,930 gains from change of use between non-domestic and residential and 4,340 from conversions between houses and flats.
