On 1 March 2019 we announced the allocation of £19.5 million to directly fund 66 local authorities through the Private Rented Sector Access Fund.<\/p>
Reported outcomes show that as of the end of June 2019, we have supported 1,090 households.<\/p>
This fund is just one of a range of housing support measures that the Government has put in place:<\/p>
- In September 2017 the Government announced the Homelessness Advice and Support Team (HAST), a team of expert advisers that provides support and assistance to improve\u202fhomelessness services.<\/li>
- Government is funding the £40 million London Collaboration Project, which aims at increasing collaboration between London boroughs in the procurement of temporary accommodation for households at risk of homelessness, this will be delivered through the creation of the local government owned company, Capital Letters.<\/li>
- The Flexible Homelessness Support Grant has allocated £617 million to local authorities over 3 years from 2017/18 to 2019/20, giving them more control and flexibility in managing homelessness pressures.<\/li>
- We have provided £72.7 million in new burdens funding for local authorities to implement the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017.<\/li>
- The Homelessness Reduction Act, the most ambitious reform to homelessness legislation in decades, came into force on 3rd April 2018.<\/li><\/ul>
