LandAid offer different grants and funding opportunities for charities across the UK with a focus on supporting 16-25 year olds who are, have been or are at risk of experiencing homelessness.
Grants Programme Update
Thank you for your interest in the LandAid Grants Programme. Our programme is currently on pause, and we are temporarily unable to take new applications. This is to ensure we are best aligning our processes and priorities to our new strategic goals and the needs of the charities we support. We will likely be reopening our grant rounds early-mid 2025 with renewed guidance on the funding schedule, priorities and criteria.
We usually offer three core grant programmes. They are each linked to the provision of a different type of bedspace as defined by the Positive Pathway which recognises three distinct types of accommodation: Emergency, Supported, and Independent (see diagram below).
Each of these is an important element of a holistic approach to provision, but none of them are enough on their own. For that reason we seek to fund the following grants across the UK:
- Safe Places Programme: To create new/additional hosting bedspaces, generally bedspaces in the homes of individuals or families who may be volunteers or paid. These bedspaces would generally be used for emergency housing, or as a form of supported housing.
- Capital Grants Programme: To create bedspaces in properties owned by, or on a long-term lease to charitable organisations. These bedspaces could be used for emergency, supported or move-on accommodation.
- Move-on Grants Programme: To unlock bedspaces in the private, or social, rental sector. These bedspaces will be for move-on accommodation. These grants would be for charities working with young people who are ready and wanting to move forward into independent living, but face barriers in accessing rental accommodation.
