We’re delighted that many of these projects will be funded by the RICS Pledge150 campaign. In total these projects will create 161 bedspaces, of which 60 will be directly funded by Pledge150.
All of the projects below will provide accomodation for young people who are homeless in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
In total, LandAid has approved grants worth £1 million to 21 youth homelessness projects, which will create 331 bed spaces for young people who are homeless.
When we give young people a safe place to live, we also give them the chance to find steady employment, build relationships and achieve their aspirations. Read more about some of our new projects across the UK:
