A £1 million war chest has been announced to tackle homelessness across the region.
West Midlands Mayor Richard Parker said money from the Rough Sleeping Prevention and Recovery Grant (RSPARG) programme will provide support for 700 people sleeping rough, at risk of losing their home, or living in temporary and insecure housing.
A total of 16 projects will be funding by the grant and Mr Parker visited one of them Move On, which is run by Citizen from the Gateway housing scheme in Coventry - which is helping homeless people turn their lives around.
