Details

  • As part of the ‘Everyone In’ initiative, approximately 15,000 people who were sleeping rough, in unsafe communal settings or at imminent risk of rough sleeping have been placed into emergency accommodation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Next Steps Accommodation Programme (NSAP) makes available the financial resources needed to support local authorities and their partners to prevent these people from returning to the streets.

  • This page includes guidance which contains an overview of the Next Steps Accommodation Programme. It provides details of what will be funded as part of this programme and how the fund will work. It also includes information on the allocations received by local authorities through this programme.
