£150 million Ukraine Homelessness Prevention Grant top-up local authority allocations (England only)

HTML

Details

The government is providing £150 million of UK-wide funding that will be made available to local authorities and devolved administrations in 2023 to 2024. This will ensure that Ukrainian guests can be supported to move into their own homes and reduce the risk of homelessness.

The funding has been allocated across the UK in relation to the proportion of Homes for Ukraine arrivals in each part of the UK, with England receiving about £109 million.

Funding will be allocated to all local authorities in England reflecting both Homes for Ukraine arrival numbers reported for each local authority and wider homelessness pressures. As a top-up to the existing Homelessness Prevention Grant, this grant is ringfenced to ensure local authorities are resourced to prevent homelessness. We expect funding will be prioritised for supporting our Ukrainian guests into sustainable accommodation, for example through access to the private rental sector, supporting employment access, and facilitating ongoing sponsorship into guests’ second year.

Local authorities are best placed to understand the support needed for local communities and, within England, this funding may also be used to support other people at risk of homelessness in line with local pressures.
