The UK Government recently launched a grant programme designed to support the work of the voluntary and community sector (VCS) in tackling homelessness across England.
The
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) published a prospectus at the end of February 2022 that invited applications for its
Voluntary, Community and Frontline Sector (VCFS) Grant programme.
Running over the next three years, this programme is a new funding approach aimed at continuing to support the important work of the Charity sector to provide solutions as well as to continue its efforts
to reduce the number of homelessness and rough sleeping over the next few years.
The Government say the grant is to be
delivered through four individually biddable lots, that will be handled and controlled through agreed upon workplans and regular monitoring. They add that Bidders are welcome to apply for multiple lots and that
they particularly welcome partnership bids or a bid between two or more organisations planning to deliver a service.
The deadline for applications is Friday 1st April 2022.
More
details and
how to apply are available on the Government
website.
