Investment aims for a joined-up approach to tackling homelessness

THE East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) has announced a new joined-up approach to support local authorities in the region to tackle homelessness and rough-sleeping.

Backed by £100,000 of government funding, the initiative will create a clearer pathway to transform services for people in need.

The Rough Sleeping Prevention and Recovery Grant initiative builds on progress already happening in Nottinghamshire and aims to bring a consistent and effective strategy across the East Midlands — from busy cities to smaller towns and rural communities. By strengthening services and improving coordination, EMCCA wants to ensure that people experiencing or at risk of homelessness receive better, faster, and more consistent support.
