Croydon will receive nearly £1.3 million from the government to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping.
The investment in Croydon is the 6th most in London, which has seen a total of £72.7 million handed out to local authorities.
MP for Croydon South Chris Philp welcomed the investment.
“One person forced to sleep rough is too many and the government is absolutely right to allocate this money in tackling the problem.
“Croydon in particular stands to benefit, receiving the 6th highest level of funding in London.
“The government is looking to end rough sleeping by tackling the causes of homelessness and to invest in greater support for those who find themselves without a home."
