Item 6 - Enhanced Sub-Regional Working re: Rough Sleepers (8/22)

Summary:

This report outlines a proposal for an enhanced role for London Councils within the new London rough sleeping programme. This will see the recruitment of sub-regional rough sleeping co-ordinators sitting alongside the existing Rough Sleeping Programme Director role within Housing and Planning, with posts funded by DLUHC under the next phase of the Rough Sleepers Initiative 2022-25 (RSI22-25) via an arrangement with the GLA. 

It will also see London Councils take on responsibility for grant-funding sub-regional immigration advice services for rough sleepers across four of London’s sub-regions, again utilising RSI22-25 funds.
