Item 13 - Performance of Grants Programme (13/7G)

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. Delivery under this programme ended on 31 March 2022. 
Recommendations for the new programme were approved in November 2021.
This report provides members with:
- the final performance report on the two priorities of the 2017-2022 Grants Programme, for the period April 2017 to March 2022 (quarters one to 20)
- the final report on the youth homelessness hub project, Hotel 1824.
