About this Funding:
Small homeless charities can apply for capital grants of up to £5,000 to help individuals rebuild their lives.
Eligible applicants must be registered charities with an annual turnover below £500,000 and less than six months of unrestricted reserves. Typically, funding is awarded to organisations running residential or training facilities designed to provide homeless people with direct support and pathways to independence.
This funding is made available by Help the Homeless, a grant-giving trust founded in 1975 to assist people off the streets and into healthier, more independent lives.
Projects previously supported include the Booth Centre in Manchester, which received £1,500 for centre improvements, and the Amber Foundation, which was awarded £3,000 to purchase new bedroom furniture for its residential centre in Devon.
The next application deadline is 5pm on 20 September 2026.
Funding Criteria:
Organisation must be a registered charity with annual turnover under £500,000. Applications must be for capital projects only. No funding is available for IT equipment or computers. There must be a 2 year period between receiving a decision or grant from the funder before making another application.
