Homelessness
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of local authorities' financial resources to deliver the measures in the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 in the next 12 months.
Answered by Alison McGovern
The government is providing £3.6 billion funding for homelessness services from 2026/27 to 2028/29, including more than £2.2 billion for local authorities to prevent and address homelessness and rough sleeping through the Homelessness, Rough Sleeping and Domestic Abuse Grant, as well as at least £969 million for temporary accommodation within the Revenue Support Grant.
