Ending Homelessness in Communities Fund: 2026 to 2029 funding allocations

The government has announced funding for the Ending Homelessness in Communities Fund 2026 to 2029. £41 million revenue and £6 million capital funding has been allocated to preferred bidders (pending successful completion of Grant Funding Agreements).

The Ending Homelessness in Communities Fund is a fund for small to medium sized voluntary, community and faith sector charities. This fund puts communities at the heart of our national effort by enabling the sector to strengthen community-based support, transform day services, help individuals live independently and prevent homelessness and rough sleeping. 

Through this fund, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is supporting organisations to achieve 3 key objectives:

• community-based support – to improve the quality, capacity, or reach of voluntary, community and faith groups to develop long-term solutions to prevent and reduce rough sleeping

• day services – to improve the quality, capacity or reach of day services for people experiencing homelessness and rough sleeping

• recovery – to improve support for a person once they have moved in to settled accommodation, using the local community to develop a support network
