Grant News
The next application deadline for applications to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) Charitable Foundation is 5pm on the 27th August 2021.
The TDS Charitable Foundation aims to improve private rented housing standards. Through its grants programme, the Foundation is looking to support bids that promote knowledge of inexperienced landlord's obligations or tenant's rights and responsibilities. Charitable organisations including housing associations and community interest companies (CIC's) can apply for projects that will help to educate inexperienced landlords about the obligations of being a private landlord and which will help educate tenants about their rights and responsibilities.
The Foundation are particularly interested in receiving applications that seek to drive forward education and learning as well as dispute resolution, in light of the impact which Covid-19 has had on the Private Rented Sector.
The maximum grant available is £10,000 per project.
Previous projects supported include:
- 4 the community - a project to extend and improve the information, education, and support available to Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMO) tenants in Rhyl.
- Cardiff Tenants and Residents Federation - a tenant education programme that specifically informs tenants about the key differences about renting in Wales, as well as wider rights and responsibilities.
