Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the MHCLG annual report and accounts 2025 to 2026, HC484, 15 July 2026, page17, how much (a) CDEL and (b) RDEL was allocated to the (i) Homelessness Accommodation Programme, (ii) Emergency Accommodation Reduction Pilots and (iii) Long-Term Rough Sleeping Accommodation Pilots in 2025-26; whether this was included in the £1 billion figure for 2025-26, and how much has been allocated for 2026-27.
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:
Allocations of other homelessness and rough sleeping grants, including the new Rough Sleeping Programme, are also published on GOV.UK, as are historic allocations of grants now consolidated in the HRSDAG.
Information about total levels of homelessness and rough sleeping spend by local authorities are published through the annual Revenue Outturn release.
