Will the Minister confirm a) how many properties have been brought into use, and b) how many individuals have been housed, under the Transitional Accommodation Capital Programme?
The Transitional Accommodation Capital Programme (TACP) was established during the 2022-23 financial year to provide good quality longer-term accommodation for everyone in housing need, including those being resettled from Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine. In its first year, the Programme provided £76.4m to local authorities and Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) to deliver 936 more homes. An annual return process is currently underway which will provide monitoring data including the number of people housed in TACP funded properties so far and the type of accommodation they have moved on from.
