This consultation is seeking input from local authorities and other interested stakeholders on five key proposals in relation to the Homelessness Prevention Grant:
The aims of this consultation are as follows:
This consultation is reviewing the local allocations and conditions of the funding, rather than the overall level of funding available for the Homelessness Prevention Grant. Your input will help government to take an informed decision on the funding distribution model, allocations and grant conditions for 2023-24, 2024-25 and beyond. Your input will also help government to strike the right balance between enhanced scrutiny and accuracy of the funding model’s reflection of needs alongside sustainability of changes and the relative importance of each of these factors.
This consultation is open for response from 1 July to 26 August. We will also be holding focus groups with a selection of local authorities during the consultation period. We will publish our consultation response alongside the allocations in late 2022.
