The homelessness legislation (Part 7 of the Housing Act 1996) places a general duty on housing authorities to have a strategy for preventing and tackling homelessness in their area and to ensure that advice and assistance about preventing homelessness is available free of charge to everyone in their area.We have allocated a total of £186,000 to Sefton over the three years 2008-09 to 2010-11 to support their homelessness strategy. In addition, we have allocated £85,500 to Sefton over the year 2009-10 to help families at risk of homelessness through repossession or eviction.This grant helps assist people of all ages and a proportion of this money will be spent on young people based on a local authority's need. We cannot disaggregate actual spend on young people but in England in the last quarter 39 per cent. of households accepted as owed a main homelessness duty were aged 16-24 years.The Supporting People programme provides revenue funds for local authorities to commission housing related support services for vulnerable people in their area, to enable them to achieve and maintain independence. In 2008-09 Sefton spent £7,466,593 of their funding allocated through the Supporting People programme on housing related support services.Supporting People is a locally managed and delivered programme. Local authorities are responsible for making the strategic decisions regarding the programme including deciding what services to commission to meet local needs and priorities.

A table of figures on the number of households accepted by local housing authorities as owed a main homelessness duty between 1999-2000 and 2008-09 has been deposited in the Library of the House in response to the question I answered from the hon. Member for Castle Point (Bob Spink) on 23 June 2009, Official Report, column 843W.Information is also collected and reported on the number of people who sleep rough—i.e. those who are literally roofless on a single night. Local authority data and count guidance can be found on the CLG website:"http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/corporate/statistics/roughsleeping2009"

Cultural development can be funded by central government, their agencies and local government. No record of local government investment is held centrally. No specific grant for cultural development was awarded to Sefton Metropolitan Council by the Arts Council in 2007-08 or 2008-09.
The National Lottery has, however, supported hundreds of projects in the area providing community benefits in the heritage, sport, arts and culture sectors. Residents of the borough have also benefited from government support for Liverpool '08 Capital of Culture events, which were widely praised for being one of the most inclusive of such events held in the culture sector.
