The Homelessness Prevention Grant is allocated from central government funding and, following the change of government, there has been no confirmation of the government funding allocation from 2025 onwards.
It is our understanding that an announcement will be made following the autumn spending review. Please note that any successful applications for Homelessness Prevention Grant funding are subject to confirmation of central government funding.
