Rough sleeping funding: grant determination letter (update)

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.

Since 2018 to 2019, the Department for Education has provided over £5.5m to 47 local authorities with the highest number of care leavers at risk of rough sleeping. In 2021 to 2022, a further £2.7m will be provided to 52 local authorities with the highest number of care leavers at risk of rough sleeping.

The letter is for Directors of Children’s Services.
