<p>Between October 2018 and March 2019 local authorities were invited to bid for funding
for one or more of the Rapid Rehousing Pathway interventions, for their area.</p><p>53
‘early adopters’ of the Rapid Rehousing Pathway were announced between December 2018
and February 2019, backed by £16 million of funding. This included 11 Somewhere Safe
to Stay hubs across the country, which have been operational since the spring, helping
to provide rapid support to rough sleepers and those at risk.</p><p>As part of the
Rapid Rehousing Pathway 2019/20 round, in May 2019 we announced funding of £25 million
for a further 108 areas, across all four elements of the Rapid Rehousing Pathway.
This included funding for an additional 20 Somewhere Safe to Stay hubs.</p><p>In total,
and accounting for overlap between the two funding rounds, between December 2018 and
May 2019 we announced 137 Rapid Rehousing Pathway areas, backed by £41 million of
funding. This, therefore, represents an average award to local authorities of approximately
£300,000.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
