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 No10 press release, Prime Minister launches national drive to get everyone in for Christmas, 18 August 2026, how much (1) RDEL and (2) CDEL was previously allocated to (i) homelessness and (ii) rough sleeping in each year from 2023-24 ; and what the latest profile is of (1) RDEL and (2) CDEL spending on (i) homelessness and (ii) rough sleeping in each year of the Spending Review period.

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:
