Nottingham city council, like all local authorities, receives homelessness grant funding to tackle and prevent all form of homelessness. However, the funding is not ring fenced and it is for councils to determine how the funding is used to support their homelessness strategy. The Department, therefore, does not keep a record of the amount of money spent on specific elements such as temporary accommodation. The funding that Nottingham city council has received from the Department to tackle homelessness is set out in the following table:
£ 2006-07 362,000 2005-06 350,000 2004-05 400,000 2003-04 506,435 2002-03 375,002 Total 1,993,437
