When lockdown kicked in, councils in England were given £3.2m to provide emergency 12-week shelter for rough sleepers, with many making use of empty hotels.

Across Northamptonshire, about 200 people were offered emergency accommodation as part of the "Everyone In" project, but this scheme ended in the middle of June.

Northampton Borough Council then extended the plan until the end of the month.

More than 140 people have spent at least one night in one of two hotels - and almost 80 of these were then helped into settled housing.

And from Wednesday (July 1), 26 rough sleepers have moved again - this time into one of the University of Northampton's halls of residence.

It means three square meals, clean clothing and toiletries, and support to find work and medical treatment.

Amanda Wilson, the council's street service co-ordinator, said people were "seizing the chance to improve their lives".
