Lloyds Bank Foundation are launching the Good Place to Live: New Beginnings Fund, investing £8 million in homelessness prevention. This fund will work with community organisations that are supporting people at key turning points in their lives when the risk of homelessness is highest including people leaving the prison system, domestic abuse survivors, young adults leaving care and individuals leaving the asylum system on securing leave to remain in the UK. By providing the right support at the right time, organisations can help prevent homelessness before it happens and reduce the need for crisis intervention.
Through this fund, they are focussing on four major life moments where the evidence shows people face a heightened risk of homelessness. Looking to back organisations that provide the right support at the right time, to help people before they reach crisis point.
Funding work that supports people who are leaving:
- prison
- the care system
- an abusive relationship
- the asylum system on securing the right to remain
The foundation will work with charities, charitable incorporated organisations (CIOs) and Community Interests Companies (CIC) whose main purpose is to support people through one of these turning points. Beyond housing, this support could take many forms, such as immigration, welfare, or health advice. Any immediate support will lead to longer term in-depth support, enabling people to navigate this change and have more control, connections, opportunities and wellbeing in their lives.
Successful organisations will receive an unrestricted grant of up to £ 200,000 over four years, alongside tailored development support, practical tools and valuable connections. Together, these will strengthen your organisation, build on what’s already working, and increase impact for the people and communities you serve. Follow this link to learn more about what to expect .
