Homelessness Response Fund – second round of funding

Homeless Link are now taking applications for the second round of grants from the Homelessness Response Fund, this time with funding from The National Lottery Community Fund and Comic Relief.

Grants are open to frontline organisations with less than £5 million annual turnover, where more than half of beneficiaries are people experiencing homelessness.

As with the initial round which closed in May, funds are available for either/or both of the following purposes:

• to help alleviate the financial impact of COVID-19 on the organisation. This may be because of a reduction in actual or expected income this year, and/or as a result of higher costs that have been incurred or expected to incur as a result of providing services to beneficiaries as a direct result of the COVID-19 crisis.
• to provide new or adapted services to homeless people affected by COVID-19.

Initial deadline for applications is 13:00 on 3 August, with a further deadline on 14 September.
