Welcome to the Equipping Shelters Fund 2024/5. This grant programme is designed to support people with unclear immigration status and affected by rough sleeping into settled accommodation.
With funding from London Councils, Housing Justice is providing this grant fund for providers of non-commissioned, emergency accommodation or night shelters. Applications are open to organisations that have provided this type of accommodation between October 2024 and March 2025.
Funding will support projects to transition towards their usual seasonal closure (over the warmer months) while working to support people in to settled accommodation. Applications such as those for a phased ‘wind down’ period, appropriate bridging accommodation and proactive move-on support are encouraged.
We have tried our best to keep this form as straight forward as possible, however we still anticipate it will take around half an hour to complete and whilst it’s possible to do on a mobile device, you will need to be able to upload documents so we would strongly recommend using a desktop computer!, so pop the kettle on and once you’re ready to go, hit the big yellow button!
Please note before you begin, you will need:
- Your charity or company number
- Financial information including your organisation’s latest accounts (if available).
- Detailed information about your proposal, as well as your budget.
- We recommend drafting your proposal using this document and then submitting it on this online portal.
- We also recommend having a thorough look at our prospectus for the fund here.
