The council will receive £267,359 to prevent people from sleeping rough and £276,214 to support children and families living in temporary accommodation.
An additional £34,104 will go towards treatment for residents struggling with drug and alcohol dependency – bringing the total to £577,677.
This investment, which focuses on preventing homelessness before it happens, underlines the urgent need for sustained action and resources to tackle the housing crisis head-on.
Cllr Sarah Williams, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning, said:
Like every London borough, we are facing a severe homelessness emergency. Demand for housing is unprecedented, while the supply of suitable homes is falling. This funding is absolutely critical to help us protect our most vulnerable residents.
The council is already working hard to tackle the crisis by building thousands of new council homes, delivering specialist services for vulnerable adults, and scaling up property purchases to provide long-term, stable housing.
This extra funding will make a real difference. It will help us keep people off the streets, support families in need, and deliver on our commitment to safe, secure homes for everyone.
The funding forms part of an £84m national package announced on World Homeless Day, including £36m for London councils.
Haringey’s dedicated rough sleeping team continues to provide essential, life-changing services – from the award-winning Mulberry Junction to Osborne Grove, which offers 12 weeks of safe accommodation and wraparound support, including a women-only crash pad.
