<p>Local authorities deliver vital homelessness services, and we recognise that the
increasing demand for temporary accommodation places pressures on councils. That is
why, taking the 2022/23 and 2023/24 Local Government Finance Settlements together,
we have increased the funding available to local government in England in real terms.</p><p>In
addition, we are providing over £1 billion to councils over three years through the
Homelessness Prevention Grant. Autumn Statement announced a further £120 miilion of
UK wide funding to help councils address Ukraine and homelessness pressures in 2024/25,
and we are increasing the Local Housing Allowance to the 30th percentile of local
rents from April.</p><p>The Government has allocated £450 million across two years
to a third round of the Local Authority Housing Fund, which will help support Afghans
on resettlement schemes and others in temporary housing need.</p>
