The Government is committed to building strong, more integrated communities where people \u2013 whatever their background \u2013 live, learn, work and socialise together based on shared rights, responsibilities and opportunities. The priorities set out in the Integrated Communities Strategy Green Paper will be supported by £50 million funding over the next two years. This includes funding to support the Integration Areas programme, based on the areas' local delivery plans to address the integration challenges and priorities identified locally. It also includes the new Integrated Communities Innovation Fund and the Integrated Communities English Language Programme, both of which were open to applicants with project proposals where there is evidence of local integration challenges. The assessment criteria for both of these programmes were set out in the programme prospectus published on the GOV.uk website.<\/p> <\/p>"}
