Item 4 - Performance of Grants Programme 2017-22 April 2017 - December 2021 (16/22G)

Summary

At its meeting of 8 February 2017 Grants Committee agreed funding for 13 commissions under the following two priorities:

Priority 1 Combatting Homelessness

Priority 2 Tackling Sexual and Domestic Violence

Commissions were agreed for the period 2017 to 2021, subject to delivery, compliance with grant conditions and continued availability of resources.

In response to Covid-19, Grants Committee agreed that the 2017 to 2021 programme be extended until March 2022 to allow time to develop a new programme that reflects a changed London. Recommendations for the new programme were approved in November 2021.
