£100 million migration fund to alleviate pressures on councils
The government’s Controlling Migration Fund is to provide an extra £28 million for councils across the country to help ease pressures on local services resulting from recent migration.
Bringing the total from the fund to over £100 million, the funding has helped deliver rapid results for communities, including tackling rogue landlords, helping alleviate rough sleeping and boosting community integration through English language lessons.
The latest funding, announced by Communities Minister Lord Bourne, will be allocated to 123 projects across England.
Communities Minister Lord Bourne said: “Whether its tackling rogue landlords who exploit vulnerable migrants, helping new arrivals learn English or supporting care leavers to access education, the Controlling Migration Fund is delivering results across the country and providing services for the benefit of all.
“Each community is unique in the challenges it faces, but the projects we’ve funded have shown that positive change is possible when people come together and think innovatively about how to support the whole community.”
