Content

The Committee RESOLVED:
 

To note the report states that the
Tackling Homelessness Programme’s financial objectives
include £8,205,000 of recurring subsidy loss reduction in
2025/26, and a further £263,000 of recurring cost reduction
on children’s commissioning. The programme continues to work
on additional initiatives that will result in further subsidy loss
reduction
To note that the report states that
as per approval of the Transformation funding at Strategy and
Resources committee on 19 May 2025, the Tackling Homelessness
Programme revenue budget is £1,925,947 for 2025/26, plus the
rollover of £792,000 from 2204/25 programme budget that was
not spent, giving a total of £2,717,947 (plus £385,000
contingency held centrally by Transformation Board).
To note that no revenue funding has
yet been approved for 2026/27, but the programme will make a
request at the Committee for Homes and Housing Delivery in April
2026, assuming transformation funds have been approved as part of
the budget setting process.
