The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, Department for Transport, and HM Treasury are administering the Levelling Up Fund, a major investment programme distributing over £1.5 billion to local areas for infrastructure, social care reform, and community wealth building. The fund supports projects in transport, education, health, flood defences, and heritage, with recent focus on prevention-focused reforms in adult social care, children's social care, SEND, and homelessness. Key challenges include measuring long-term outcomes, coordinating with local planning authorities, and ensuring effective delivery through Delivery Associates.
