A £64m fund for dealing with multiple disadvantages is being shared by 15 local authorities, some of which – Bristol and Westminster councils – have chosen to spend a portion of the money on helping vulnerable young people.
The three-year Changing Futures programme is a joint initiative by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and the National Lottery Community Fund.
It aims to break the cycle of multiple disadvantage by strengthening local partnerships that work to tackle often linked issues such as homelessness, domestic abuse, unemployment, substance abuse, poor mental health and experience of the criminal justice system.
Rough sleeping and housing minister Eddie Hughes MP, says: “Working in partnership in local areas and across government, Changing Futures will test innovative approaches and seek to drive lasting change across the whole system to provide better outcomes for adults experiencing multiple disadvantage.”
