Rough sleeping funding: grant determination letter

This grant supports the delivery of the government’s rough sleeping strategy. It allows local authorities to employ one or more specialist personal advisers to support a small caseload of 5 to 10 care leavers.

We provided £1,615,000 from 2018 to 2019, and £3,230,000 from 2019 to 2020, to 47 local authorities with the highest number of care leavers at risk of rough sleeping. We will provide £723,114.33 from 2020 to 2021 to 21 local authorities with the highest number of care leavers at risk of rough sleeping.

The letter is for Directors of Children’s Services.
