On 24 November 2011, the Housing Minister announced the allocations of £35.5m - which will be match funded by the local authorities to reach £71m – to support these areas.
These allocations were made after the affected local authorities had submitted proposals to re-house households isolated in stalled schemes, and provide a structured exit from the former HMR programme either with a transition scheme or replaced by a locally-funded regeneration scheme.
