Homelessness grants from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister supplement other sources of Government funding that help to tackle homelessness, including housing capital investment, Supporting People and Revenue Support Grant.

In 2004–05 and 2005–06 a total of £71,658 million (revenue and capital) in homelessness grants was allocated to local authorities in London by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister.

The table provides details of homelessness grant allocations made by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister in 2004–05 and 2005–06 to each local authority in London. Indicative allocations for 2006–07 are also included this table.

Funding provided by the Directorate has supported action to successfully reduce rough sleeping by more than 70 per cent. since 1998, end the use of B and B hotels as long-term accommodation for families with children, and develop homelessness strategies and preventative approaches which have resulted in the first sustained fall in new cases of homelessness for nearly a decade.
