Details

On 20 October 2018 the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government announced a new fund: Supporting Families Against Youth Crime.

The fund is designed to be used flexibly to enhance the existing package of support provided by local Troubled Families Programmes to enable a greater focus on preventing youth and gang crime.

The fund will support initiatives that align with the Programme’s focus on early intervention and scaling up whole family working. The fund will support a range of initiatives, from expanding existing good practice approaches that have an evidence base, through to new or innovative interventions that an area is developing in response to the issue.

This prospectus gives further details of the fund, eligibility and the application processes.

On 22 February 2019 it was announced that community-backed projects in 21 areas would receive funding.
