Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when the Move On Fund to help those moving on from hostels and refuges began to operate; and how many units of accommodation it has so far provided.
The first £50 million of funding was released to the Greater London Authority in December of 2016. As funding for housing in London is devolved, the Greater London Authority, as commissioners of this fund, hold the relevant information regarding units of accommodation delivered.
The prospectus for the additional £50 million of funding for the rest of England was published alongside the Rough Sleeping Strategy on August 13, the prospectus can be found at - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/move-on-fund
