Overview

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.

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.

How much could you get?

Eligible organisations will be able to apply for up to three years of revenue funding and one year of capital funding. Organisations can apply for between £50,000 and £200,000 per annum in revenue funding for any or all of the programme years.

Organisations may also apply for between £50,000 and £200,000 in capital funding, which can be requested for either Year 1 or Year 2 only. These limits are separate, which means that if an organisations applies for both revenue and capital in the same year, it may request up to £200,000 for revenue plus up to £200,000 for capital.
