Podcast: London gets £36.5 million boost to tackle homelessness as council costs soar

Listen here on your chosen podcast platform.

On World Homeless Day, the government has announced a new £36.5 million funding package to help Londoners facing homelessness this winter.

The money will be directed towards supporting families in temporary accommodation, and comes after London boroughs revealed they were collectively spending a staggering £5.5 million a day to tackle homelessness.

The New Homelessness Minister Alison McGovern is here to discuss today’s announcement.

And in part two, John Darlington, Director of Projects at the World Monuments Fund, joins us to talk about this week’s Hidden London destination, St Dunstan in the East.
