Grant News

The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust, on behalf of the Office for Veterans’ Affairs (OVA), is offering grants through the Reducing Veteran Homelessness Programme.

The programme seeks to enhance the capacity of supported housing services to meet the diverse needs of vulnerable veterans. Supported activities include providing temporary supported housing, offering holistic support services such as mental health counselling and employment guidance, and fostering community integration. Projects are encouraged to collaborate with other organisations to deliver comprehensive support.

Eligible organisations—including registered charities experienced in veteran housing, registered social housing providers, and local authorities—can apply for up to £300,000 for projects lasting up to nine months. An additional Enhanced Award of up to £200,000 is available for projects addressing significant unmet needs. The total funding available under this programme is £8.5 million, aiming to reduce veteran homelessness and end rough sleeping.

Applications must be submitted by 12 noon on 31 March 2025. Interested parties should consult the programme guidance available on the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust's website to ensure eligibility and understand the application process.
