Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when he will confirm to Brighton and Hove City Council on how much funding they will receive from the Next Steps Accommodation Programme; and if he will make a statement.

On 17 September, we announced the funding allocations for the interim accommodation element of the Next Steps Accommodation Programme. Brighton and Hove Council have been allocated £3,428,766. Bids for move on accommodation under the £161 million longer-term accommodation portion of the programme are being assessed and local authorities will be contacted in due course.
