Homelessness: Nottinghamshire

Answer

This Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping, which is why we have now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle it over the spending review period, including the £75 million Rough Sleeping Initiative (RSI). We are particularly encouraged that across the 83 RSI areas rough sleeping numbers have fallen by almost a fifth. In its first year, councils have used the investment to create an additional 1,750 beds and provide 500 rough sleeping support staff – this means there are more people in warm beds tonight as a direct result of government funding.

(i) homelessness core funding started in 2013/14 and (ii) flexible homelessness support grant commenced in 2017/18.

The record we hold shows Ashfield and Broxtowe has received the funding below:
