LandAid's vision is a country where no young person is homeless. They aim to bring about lasting change by tackling the causes of youth homelessness and providing safe, supported housing for those who need it most. To drive this, they award grants to outstanding projects on the ground that work to give young people the shelter and support they deserve.
Over the next 3 years LandAid will help charities providing accommodation across the UK to create or bring back into use, 450 bed spaces for young people facing homelessness.
They allocate funding under two streams:
• Renovation: existing properties in need of refurbishment which will provide accommodation, support, and in some cases training, for young people who have been or are at risk of homelessness. This could be either an existing accommodation project or a project which will bring a long-term empty home back into use.
• New buildings: new build projects which will ultimately provide safe, secure and affordable accommodation for young people who are experiencing homelessness. This could be brand new accommodation and could also include alternative housing solutions such as modular housing.
Throughout the grant process, we carefully monitor and evaluate our projects to ensure we're making the biggest difference possible.
Grants of up to £75,000 are available.
Trustees meet four times per year.
