This question was answered on 18th December 2015

The Single Persons Accommodation Centre for the Ex-Services (SPACES) is a charitable project working in partnership with Ministry of Defence (MOD) Joint Service Housing Advice Office. There have not been any MOD employees at SPACES since 2010.

SPACES assists the most vulnerable single Service Leavers to secure appropriate accommodation as they leave the Armed Forces in order to reduce the likelihood of them becoming homeless or rough sleepers. In order to ensure the provision of this service, the MOD has paid SPACES the following:

FY2010-11 = £170,750

FY2011-12 = £175,019

FY2012-13 = £179,394

FY2013-14 = £179,394

FY2014-15 = £179,394
