This allows councils, who are independent of central Government, to manage their budgets in line with local priorities. Total Core Spending Power for local authorities in England is set to rise in real terms over the next two years, from £44.3 billion in 2017-18 to £45.6 billion in 2019-20.</p><p>This Government is committed to protecting the most vulnerable in our society and we have already taken several steps during this Parliament to help secure a strong and sustainable adult social care system. The Spring Budget 2017 announced an additional £2 billion funding in England to spend on adult social care in the short-term. This meant that, by the start of this financial year (2017-18), the Government had given councils access to £9.25 billion more dedicated funding for adult social care over the next three years.</p><p>While it is for local authorities to manage funding according to local priorities, the Government expects them to provide the right services to local communities, especially for the vulnerable and older people.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 18/01/2018 17:37:42 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2017 answer text <p>From April 2018 we are implementing the Homelessness Reduction Act, the biggest change to homelessness legislation in decades which will require local authorities to provide early help and support to people, including single people to prevent them from becoming homeless in the first place.</p><p>Short-term supported accommodation needed in crisis or transition, such as homeless hostels or refuges, will now be funded and commissioned directly by the local authority, through a ring-fenced grant from central government.</p><p>The model will help more people to sustain or get in to work. The short-term accommodation grant will remove rental costs for the tenants at a particularly vulnerable point in their lives, allowing them to seek work safe in the knowledge that their housing costs will be met. It will also help people who can, to move-on with greater choice about where they go without carrying a legacy of rent arrears and debt.</p><p>It will also give local areas a bigger role in commissioning supported accommodation for vulnerable people in their area. Councils have a strong interest in sustainable short-term accommodation which meets local need and will need to demonstrate how they will meet that through strategic plans and needs assessments.</p><p>The arrangements described apply to England only, equivalent funding will be devolved to the Scottish Government, and the specific arrangements will be for the Scottish Government to decide<strong>.</strong></p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 12/12/2017 17:22:22 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones
