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.
