Consultation description

The Homelessness Prevention Grant is provided to all local housing authorities in England to support them in delivering services to prevent and tackle homelessness. For 2022/23, £315.8 million in funding was provided to local authorities through the grant.

This technical consultation is seeking views from local authorities and other interested stakeholders on the approach to the funding arrangements and conditions for the grant for 2023/24 onwards. We want to make sure that funding is allocated fairly to authorities based on current homelessness pressures. We also want to improve government’s understanding of how the grant is being spent.
