The Council has been successful in a bid to the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government’s Rough Sleeper Initiative Grant for Funding of £363,309 for 2018/19; £25,000 of this is to increase the commissioned Rough Sleepers Outreach Service to fund additional outreach work in 2018/19.

 

On 4 July 2018 the Director of Housing and Neighbourhoods approved the acceptance of this grant from the MHCLG for 2018-19, including the approval to make the £25,000 available to the Housing Independence Service to pay the Outreach Service Provider.
