Recent grants
- LatchLatch is planning to purchase and refurbish long term empty properties to provide supported housing for four people under 25 who are homeless or in housing need. Latch provides a holistic service to young people, through the provision of housing, support and volunteering services. This addresses their housing needs; the reasons why they have become homeless and other issues such as independent living skills, money management, alcohol or substance abuse; and improves their employment and training prospects through volunteering. The homes will be refurbished to high quality and energy efficiency standards, making them warm and affordable to heat. The properties will be let fully furnished and equipped. Each tenant will have a dedicated support worker who will work them to enable the tenant to have a successful tenancy and when ready to move-on from Latch to live independently. The properties will be maintained by Latch's in-house property management service.£60,000March 2019
- YMCA FairthorneThis refurbishment project is to replace bedroom and communal space windows at YMCA Basingstoke, which provides accommodation and support to 83 young people at risk of homelessness. YMCA engages tenants in structured evidence-based programmes which improve their wellbeing and independent living skills. 60% are 25 or under and the grant is for this element of the costs, YMCA will fund the balance from operating surplus. We purchased the property in 2019 from its former landlord who did not replace original windows once deteriorated, despite identification in condition surveys. We wish to complete this work. The current windows cause condensation and mould in bedrooms. Many are drafty, creating high electricity costs to tenants who live on very low incomes and often in poor health. We wish to install modern, efficient, replacement windows. This will improve young people’s financial situation, and significantly increase the comfort and appearance of their homes.£66,000February 2019
- YMCA East SurreyHillbrook House offers safe, secure and affordable accommodation for young homeless people, providing 44 self-contained bedsits and support services. It is situated in central Redhill, serving East Surrey. It supports young people aged 16-30, with around 85% aged under 25 and 70-80% under 22, and reaches 70-90 young people every year. We need to totally refurbish all the shower rooms and bathrooms; they have not been refurbished since being built in 2004. They are causing problems with water leakage affecting walls and floors, as well as looking old and in need of replacement. Residents at Hillbrook are offered support to meet their individual needs, which are wide ranging and include mental health issues, substance misuse, offending behaviour, as well as support to access education and employment. The impact on their, often chaotic, lives is to bring stability, help them move on to independent living and become able to support themselves.£50,000February 2019
- RoundaboutWe are seeking funding for a new build project to house and support 6 young people aged 16-21 who would otherwise be homeless. In October 2016 we opened a group living scheme at a property that was originally set up to house students and whilst the property is of a decent standard it is really cramped and has one shared bathroom between the six young people and staff. We hope to create a new build project that is suitable to house these young people that have gone through very challenging childhoods. The new project will be in Sheffield and we are working with Sheffield City Council to identify appropriate land. Living in this new building will have an amazing effect on the lives of the young people, giving them quality accommodation that has en-suite bedrooms and training area will mean so much to all involved.£100,000February 2019
- Shelter from the StormThis project is a renovation of a former supermarket in Archway, Islington into a new 40 bed night shelter, a community café and a shop. It is a purpose built, design led, unique night shelter supported by charities across the city, and backed by the Mayor and GLA.£100,000February 2019
- 1625 Independent PeopleThis property is part of the Bristol City Council (BCC) Acquired estate. Neglected and in need of refurbishment, it’s a Victorian 2 bed terrace in a part of Bristol that would be ideal for a young parent moving out of 1625IP’s supported shared housing and into move-on accommodation. The young parent will have access to the range of services offered by 1625IP which includes education, employment and training support, sport, peer support and specific move-on training.£23,774February 2019
