Introduction
The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) is allocating up to £53 million from its drug strategy housing support grant. It will fund targeted housing support interventions for people in drug and alcohol treatment across 28 local authorities. The funding will help local areas test targeted housing support interventions and learn what effect they have on recovery outcomes. The learning will be used as part of the ongoing implementation of the drug strategy.
Local areas will use this funding to support people in drug and alcohol treatment who have a housing-related need, between the financial years 2022 to 2023 and 2024 to 2025. This includes funding specialist housing workers to help people in drug and alcohol treatment to access and maintain safe and suitable housing.
