The deadline is fast approaching to apply for the next stage of
the Community Housing Fund.
Last month the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local
Government (MHCLG) officially announced Community Housing Fund
Revenue Programme 2021-22. This next stage of the fund will provide
an additional £4 million of revenue funding for community-led
housing groups.
This will provide revenue grants to cover the costs of
project-specific pre-development activities. You can read more
about who the Fund is aimed at and the eligibility in the
Community-Led Homes Prospectus.
Groups are required to complete the online eligibility checker before they can complete
the online application form, and the deadline to complete this
check is 20th September.
There is also a webinar for applicants where you will have the
opportunity to ask any questions about applying for the Community
Housing Fund on 16th September at 10.30am. Groups can
sign up here.
We encourage all CLH groups to apply as soon as possible as the
grant must be spent by March 2022.
Even if your group is newly formed or is in the early stages of
a project, we encourage you to make the application to show the
MHCLG that there is real demand for funding and a pipeline of
projects.
