At last, the government is providing funding for Local Authorities to tackle not only at crisis point but through prevention approaches. With almost £1bn going into homelessness in 2025-26, including a 30% increase in the homelessness prevention grant (and a cap on how much of it can be spent on Temporary Accommodation), the sector can seek to tackle change. We have long argued that digital tooling is the only way to address the challenges that this country is facing at the scale that is required. This needs to happen in tandem with other changes across the industry that are being supported by this increase in funding. Now, it's down to councils to deploy this in a smart way that builds learning on how to impact homelessness. #MHCLG #Homelessness
