Community Housing Projects
Housing is widely acknowledged as a fundamental component of quality of life. It is a core factor in the health and wellbeing of families and the development of strong communities.
The purpose of this fund is to support community organisations delivering innovative pilot projects aiming to prevent or solve homelessness, or the need for emergency housing.

- A fit with the Trust’s strategic objective
- Proof that the project is needed

- Collaboration and engagement with other organisations, including other funders
- Culturally appropriate programmes showing awareness of cultural knowledge and values
