Housing funds
Young people face huge financial barriers that prevent them from securing a home. We launched our Housing Fund to help young people to overcome these.
We provide young people with bursary and bond schemes that help them overcome the prohibitive upfront costs of securing a tenancy, and supply the basics that make a house a home.
With young people being worst hit financially by the cost of living crisis, it is vital they get the support they need to prevent them spiralling into long-term homelessness. It all starts with a safe place to call home.

Last year, 135,000 young people faced homelessness.

“Unhoused young people can overcome challenges, develop skills and gain employment but if they cannot find safe, secure and affordable accommodation, their lives remain on hold. The Housing Fund is a springboard which helps young people overcome practical and financial hurdles to securing a home”
