The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) is committed to ensuring everyone has the conditions they need to thrive regardless of their background or the circumstances in their life. At the heart of this ambition is the belief that a good life, built on an affordable, secure and stable home, should be available to everyone in this country.
This government is focused on addressing the root causes of homelessness and ensuring people get the right support at the right time. Achieving this requires the energy, reach and innovation of the voluntary, community, and faith sector (VCFS). These organisations bring deep local knowledge, trusted relationships and a unique ability to engage people.
The Ending Homelessness in Communities Fund (EHCF) 2026-29 represents an unprecedented investment of £37 million of capital and revenue funding in the voluntary, community and faith sector (VCFS). This fund puts communities at the heart of our national effort, enabling the sector to strengthen community-based support, transform day services, help individuals live independently and prevent homelessness and rough sleeping.
The following webinar, presented by MHCLG officials, will cover:
• An outline of the fund
• A summary of the key objectives of the fund
• What your organisation can be doing now to prepare for the fund
• How organisations can apply
• Key timeline for the grant competition
