<p>The information requested could only be provided at a disproportionate cost. However,
over this spending review period we have allocated over £1.2 billion in funding to

the Homelessness Reduction Act. This includes:</p><ul><li>£316 million of core funding
to local authorities;</li><li>£215 million of central Government funding for homelessness
programmes, which includes £28 million for our Housing First pilots and the £20 million
Private Rented Sector Access Fund announced at Autumn Budget 2017;</li><li>£100 million
to deliver low-cost ‘move-on’ accommodation places, for people leaving hostels and
refuges to make a sustainable recovery; and</li><li>£617 million in Flexible Homelessness
Support Grant funding which gives local authorities greater flexibility to prioritise
homelessness prevention in their areas.</li></ul>
