What the fund supports:

• • Funding is for organisations delivering generalist homelessness support (e.g. housing advice, hostels, supported accommodation, outreach or prevention) and willing to embed inclusive practice across safeguarding, staff capability, supervision, culture and systems.
  • Funded work must be shaped by youth voice and lived experience, with a strong understanding of the heightened risks faced by LGBT+ young people.
