Answer
The proposed additional allocation of £1.0m will help bring forward new and extended services which align to the 3 year Supporting People Strategy and aim to prevent homelessness.
These additional services will provide more housing support to vulnerable people and provide the opportunity to improve their quality of life and achieve greater independence within this valued Programme.
