Help the Homeless provides financial support for hostels, drop-in centres and similar services that are working to help homeless people rebuild their lives and return to society through training or residential facility provision. Please note that grants are for capital projects only and are not awarded for projects that merely offer shelter - projects must help individuals move towards a return to mainstream society

Applicants requiring funding for building work and refurbishment are advised to contact CRASH, a charity helping homelessness charities and hospices with vital construction projects.

Further information, guidance and a grant application form is available on the Help the Homeless website.
