A Nottinghamshire borough is to receive more than £500,000 in homeless prevention funding. Gedling Borough Council will get £539,923 through the Government's Homeless Prevention Grant.
The ringfenced grant can be used with flexibility by the council to deliver its homelessness and rough sleeper strategies. This includes offering people financial support to find a new home, providing temporary accommodation and working with landlords to prevent evictions as well as other methods to prevent homelessness.
Gedling's Conservative MP, Tom Randall, said: "To reduce homelessness further, I am delighted that Gedling Borough Council has been allocated £539,923 of the Government's £654million Homelessness Prevention Grant. £267,833 will be paid to the council in 2023-24 and £272,090 in 2024-25 to support them to deliver services to prevent and tackle homelessness across Gedling."
