Details

The Quaker Housing Trust Main Grants and Loans programme gives funding for projects that create homes.

The programme currently has four funding priorities. Other projects will be considered after those meeting these priorities:

• Projects in East of England, Southwest of England (Somerset, Devon, Cornwall) and Wales - geographically underrepresented in recent award rounds
• Projects providing for older people
• Organisations working with people with No Recourse to Public Funds
• Housing projects that support people from minoritised groups. These include:
• LGBTQ+ people
• Black and other ethnically minoritised people
• people living with disabilities
• refugees and asylum seekers
• prison leavers and
• care leavers.

This is not an exhaustive list, and they are open to consider other minoritised groups.

Please visit the Trust website for full guidelines.
