The overarching homelessness prevention grant amounts £366 million for 2022/23. This encompasses all cohorts. Local councils have a responsibility to support Ukrainians who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, including providing temporary accommodation where required to ensure no family is without a roof over their head.

Up to date data on arrivals through the Homes for Ukraine Scheme can be accessed here. Details on funding for the scheme are available here. We are continuing to work with local authorities and sponsors to support them with their hosting arrangements.
