Housing Minister Heather Wheeler MP has confirmed over
£19.5m is to be shared among 54 projects across England in bids to help

secure their own home. Councils are to use the funding boost to help vulnerable
people secure their own tenancy through support such as paying deposits or

private rental accommodation, 889,000 receive housing benefit to help pay rent.
