The help comes on top of a separate scheme by the Probation Service to accommodate around 3,000 prison leavers in hostels a year.
Lord Chancellor Robert Buckland said: ‘The combination of strong supervision from probation staff and support into treatment, a home and a job will drive down crime. It gives offenders the incentive and opportunity to break the cycle of repeat offending and will save thousands of law-abiding people from becoming victims.’
The type of help offered by councils will vary across the country. It could include providing loans so that prison leavers can put down a deposit on a rental.
