About London Housing Foundation Ltd

London Housing Foundation Ltd is a charitable company dedicated to assisting homelessness agencies across London. Its mission is to support and strengthen the organisations that work directly with people experiencing homelessness, rather than providing frontline services themselves. The foundation has a strong European perspective, being a member of FEANTSA, the European Federation of National Organisations Working with the Homeless, and maintains close ties with homelessness agencies across Europe. This dual focus on local London impact and European connections enables cross-border learning and best practice exchange within the sector.

What London Housing Foundation Ltd funds

The foundation funds a wide range of activities that help London-based homelessness agencies become more effective and sustainable. It is interested in innovative approaches, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing within the sector. Support is directed towards organisational development and sector-wide improvement, including capacity building, research, and data-driven practice. The foundation also values leadership development and proof-of-concept projects that can contribute to ending rough sleeping. Its grant-making is focused on Greater London, where the work of funded agencies takes place.

Who can apply

The foundation assists London homelessness agencies, and is interested in supporting those organisations that are based in London and deliver services in the capital. Eligible applicants include registered charities and community groups. The foundation prioritises organisations that work directly with people experiencing homelessness, and it welcomes both established and bold new ideas. There is no religious restriction on who can apply.

What London Housing Foundation Ltd doesn't fund

The foundation does not fund individuals or direct service provision. Instead, it concentrates on organisational development and sector-wide improvement, so frontline services themselves are not supported. It also does not fund work outside London, as its focus is on homelessness agencies within the capital.

How they like to fund

The foundation makes responsive grants to London homelessness agencies. It welcomes unsolicited applications, and its funding style is centred on supporting organisational effectiveness and sustainability. The foundation also engages with the wider European homelessness sector through its membership of FEANTSA, which informs its approach to grant-making and knowledge-sharing.
