The £48 million of funding announced by the Government
for Councils to help deliver new and expanded services to prevent and reduce

passed by Parliament, will mean anyone at risk of losing their home will get
the help they need more quickly. LandAid Chief Executive Paul Morrish said: “Nothing

young people; family breakdown and the appalling prognosis facing those leaving
the care system.” Read more on 24housing.
