132 charities receive grants from the COVID-19 Homelessness Response Fund
Homeless Link has awarded emergency grants to 132 frontline homelessness charities directly affected by the Coronavirus to ensure they can continue to provide their vital services.
Charities across the country will share £6 million of funding from the COVID-19 Homelessness Response Fund provided by The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG).
The organisations being supported cover a wide spectrum of homelessness provision, from specialist services supporting young people, women, and those who identify as LGBTQ+, to those providing soup kitchens and essential supplies and support to people sleeping rough.
The financial assistance they receive will protect them against closure, service cuts and staff redundancies due to the increased operational costs and a loss or fundraised income caused by the pandemic. Crucially, this will ensure that people experiencing homelessness can continue to receive the support they need to recover and move on.
All grantees are organisations with an annual turnover of less than £5 million, where over half of beneficiaries are people experiencing homelessness. Awards must be spent by 30 October 2020.
Homeless Link is pleased to be able to provide this critical support to frontline services, and will shortly announce further opportunities for agencies to apply for funding for emergency relief, and to develop new services, in this financial year.
