Homelessness: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what support he is providing to local authorities to ensure they receive additional dedicated funding for homelessness services.
Answered by Alison McGovern
The Government has increased funding for homelessness services this year to over £1 billion, including a £50 million top-up to the Homelessness Prevention Grant announced on 11 December 2025. You can find allocations here.
We are also investing £3.5 billion in homelessness and rough sleeping services over the next three years, through more flexible multi-year funding arrangements that enable councils to invest more in prevention.
