Figures for Wallasey are therefore not available. Liverpool City Region can be calculated by summing figures for Liverpool, Halton, Knowsley, Sefton, St. Helens and Wirral. In December 2019 we announced the allocation of £263 million in funding for 2020/21 to local authorities designed to support them to deliver services to tackle homelessness. The purpose of this funding is to give local authorities more control and flexibility in managing homelessness pressures and supporting those who at risk of homelessness, including providing them with temporary accommodation. <br> <br>England and regional totals include imputations for missing values, including Halton, so the sum of individual figures will not match these totals.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 27/01/2020 17:57:59 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall previous answer version 3111 answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall
