Gedling Borough is set to receive £87,131 as part of a major Government drive to help end rough sleeping and get people off the streets by Christmas.
The cash forms part of a nationwide £442 million funding package announced by Prime Minister Andy Burnham, aimed at providing emergency accommodation and support services for people sleeping rough across England this winter.
New accommodation and support schemes will be rolled out in the coming months, with councils working alongside charities, health services and community groups to help people find stable housing and rebuild their lives.
Gedling’s share of the funding comes as ministers unveil plans to offer everyone experiencing rough sleeping a route off the streets by Christmas.
Announcing the scheme, Mr Burnham said: “No-one should have to bed down in a doorway or outside a station.
“I won’t accept it. That’s why my first instruction as Prime Minister was to end rough sleeping. And it’s why today we’re getting started with a national drive to get everyone in for Christmas.”
The Government says the funding will not only provide immediate accommodation but also help deliver more than 1,000 long-term homes over the next three years, backed by intensive support for those at risk of homelessness.
Housing Secretary Angela Rayner said the investment would help thousands of people “leave the streets behind, move into secure homes and get the support they need to rebuild their lives”.
Local authorities across England are receiving funding, with councils in areas facing the greatest pressures receiving the largest allocations.
The Government will also host a national summit this autumn, bringing together leaders from business, charities, faith groups and public services to support efforts to end rough sleeping.
An additional £8.4 million has been set aside for community and homelessness organisations, with ministers saying local partnerships will be central to delivering lasting solutions.
Research from homelessness charity Crisis suggests preventing 40,000 people from becoming homeless for a year could save taxpayers around £370 million.
The Government says guidance is being issued to councils to help ensure support is in place before winter, including specialist provision for women experiencing rough sleeping and those fleeing domestic abuse or sexual violence.
