Help the Homeless is a small grant maker which provides funding for charitable organisations with the aim of helping homeless people return to the community and enabling them to rebuild their lives.
Funding is targeted at projects to find practical ways to help disadvantaged individuals return to the community through training or residential facility provision, rather than merely providing short term shelter.
The reasons for being homeless vary enormously, but may include ill-health, those who are discharged offenders, addictions, family breakdown or other adverse circumstances. Homelessness is not just about the people that the public sees and thinks about – principally “rough sleepers” living on the streets – but a whole range of people who lack a stable home.
Funding is available to registered UK Charities. More information on eligibility requirements, eligible expenditure, and how to apply found here.
Deadline: Applications open quarterly. The deadlines each year are 5pm on: 15 March, 15 June, 15 September, 15 December.
