Leeds City Council has been awarded a grant of £6,419,976.00 from the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) and Homes England for The Single Homelessness Accommodation Programme until 31st March 2027.
The programme will be targeted at two groups in particular: those with the longest histories of rough sleeping or the most complex needs, and vulnerable young people (age 18-25) at risk of homelessness or rough sleeping to provide targeted support and accommodation as part of the national rough sleeping agenda.
The grant will cover capital costs amounting to £2,140,000.00 and revenue expenditure amounting to £4,279,976.00 for a variety of interventions that include providing accommodation with intensive and specialist support. This will assist the city to deliver its ambitions to reduce the numbers of people who are rough sleeping and to deliver positive outcomes.
