At the last Spending Review, the Department was allocated over £2 billion to help tackle homelessness and rough sleeping.

We have allocated the vast majority of this funding across our core programmes including over £1 billion through the Homelessness Prevention Grant, £433 million through the Rough Sleeping Accommodation Programme, up to £500 million through the Rough Sleeping Initiative and £187 million Rough Sleeping Drug and Alcohol Treatment Grant.
