The funding is primarily focussed on single homelessness prevention and relief to support a reduction in rough sleeping, but with some degree of flexibility to support other vulnerable groups where necessary. To help people sustain their accommodation, build independence, and access the additional support they may need as they move on from homelessness services. Many individuals moving into independent living continue to face significant challenges and may require ongoing practical, social, or wellbeing support.

Leicester City Council ('the Council') would like to seek expressions of interest from organisations that feel they could provide meaningful support to this cohort. The work we can do together will make a direct contribution to the Government's national ambition to end homelessness and halve rough sleeping by the end of this Parliament. This makes it an incredibly exciting and meaningful opportunity to be part of a service that is helping to deliver real and lasting change for some of the most vulnerable people in our communities. I take this opportunity to thank all partner organisations for their continued support to people experiencing homelessness and your efforts are making a genuine difference to people's lives, your professionalism, compassion, and perseverance are greatly appreciated and are fundamental to achieving our shared goals.
