Records show that since 2014, Peterborough City Council has paid Eastfield in excess of £2.6m to house the homeless.
Hundreds of payments of smaller amounts have been paid out by Fenland Council and are listed on the council’s public expenditure charts that are obliged to show all payments over £500.
However, many of these payments are redacted.
The council says the payments were made to organisations/individual contractors for supplies and services during the pandemic.
“Names have been redacted due to General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) because they relate to individual rough sleeper clients,” said a council spokesperson.
The council says that in the 11 months before March 2020, their spend on emergency housing for the homeless and those at risk of homelessness was £31,447.
