One in five young Londoners is unemployed and they urgently need more support to make a positive start to their working lives, according to London Councils, the cross-party group that represents the 32 London boroughs and the City of London Corporation.
New analysis shows London needs 90-100,000 new homes each year to tackle the housing crisis – double the number currently being built according to the government’s most recent data.
Third sector organisations supporting Londoners facing sexual and domestic abuse and homelessness are being encouraged to apply for London Councils’ new four-year grants programme.
The new grants programme, which will run from 2022 to 2026, is funded by London’s boroughs and will provide support to London’s most vulnerable residents.
The Rough Sleeping Programme Director will work with London local authorities, the GLA, central government, health services, and other partners to help co-ordinate strategy and improve outcomes for rough sleepers in the capital.
