Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, further to the answer of 5 August 2026, to Question HL2418, on Homelessness, in which financial years is the £340 million allocated; whether it is a cumulative figure; and whether it is wholly RDEL spending or whether it includes CDEL.

To support local authorities, we have introduced significant reforms to how we deliver this funding to councils, to provide multi-year certainty and greater flexibility for them to be able to tailor services to meet local needs.

The Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Grant (HRSDAG) is worth £2.7bn over 3 years. Further information can be found at the following links:
