Question
Will the Minister outline how the Welsh Government supports local authorities in their efforts to provide homelessness services for their communities?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Climate Change
The Welsh Government is investing over £210m this year alone in homelessness and housing support services. This funding includes the Housing Support Grant (£166.8m) which is the main homelessness prevention grant provided to local authorities to provide essential housing support services to support people to sustain tenancies and avoid homelessness and wrap-around support to those who are experiencing homelessness.
In support of the transformation agenda, including the strategic planning needed to fully implement a rapid rehousing approach, Welsh Government relationship managers continue to work closely with local authorities, identifying and sharing best practice as part of a programme of continuous development.
