Why it matters: The fund aims to support organisations that prevent homelessness, increase housing options, or reduce its impact on children amid increasing pressure on local services.
The big picture: Applications are open to registered charities, social enterprises, and community groups in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire until 30 August.
By the numbers:
Up to £150,000 will be awarded in total this round
Previous rounds have supported over 30 charities
More than 29,000 people have been helped so far
What they're saying: Marie-Claire Delbrouque, Hopestead's chief executive, said: "This campaign is needed now more than ever with those working locally in the homelessness sector telling us their services are oversubscribed, overwhelmed and underfunded."
Julia Hanock, charity manager at Selig Suffolk, added: "We are working on a project to end homelessness through employment, and the Hopestead funding is helping us to subsidise people's rent while they're working."
How to apply: Visit www.hopestead.org/apply-for-funding or email weare@hopestead.org for more information.
The bottom line: Hopestead aims to end homelessness in the East of England by tackling its root causes and building long-term, sustainable solutions through partnerships with like-minded organisations.
