•Councils call for cash to cover homeless bill shortfall
77% Informative
Councils in England facing soaring homelessness costs are urging the government to foot more of the bill.
Local authorities which house people in temporary accommodation generally pay the up-front costs and claim the cash back from central government.
But a 2011 decision to freeze the amount they can claim back has cost them almost 740 m in the last five years .
The LGA wants the Labour government to update the system to reflect 2024 costs.
