Decision details

This will ensure that we are able to fund the services that are preventing and reliving rough sleeping in the city in line with the governments Rough Sleeping Strategy and the aims of the Corporate Strategy 2022-27.

A report was approved by Cabinet on the 5th April 2022 for the plans for the provision of services relating to the Rough Sleeping Initiative (RSI) and Commissioning services from 2022 to 2025.
Recommendation 2 on the report requested that Cabinet, ‘Authorise the Executive Director, Growth and Regeneration to accept and spend the 2022-23 Quarter 1 funding award from DLUHC
for £690,345 received on 20th December 2021”. 2022-23 is a transition year, as we are seeking to extend current contracts and grant agreements until tender processes have been undertaken and
new contracts are in place for funded services in the programme.
