£91.5m allocated to housing support for vulnerable people

The Government has announced that 274 councils will share £91.5 million of funding to end rough sleeping, helping vulnerable people who were housed during the pandemic stay in accommodation this year.

The funding will be used to ensure interim accommodation and support for the most vulnerable people, including by helping people into the private rented sector, secure interim accommodation such as supported housing, and assess the wider support these people need in order to rebuild their lives. An additional £13.5 million fund will be used to enable local authorities to tackle new or emerging challenges.
