Funding for tackling the housing crisis

Under this priority area we have three impact goals - the three changes we want to see in London by 2030. We want to fund work that moves towards these three goals:

1. More Londoners come together to advocate for their housing rights. 

We want to see a London where significantly more Londoners understand their housing rights, and are supported to collectively advocate for themselves.

Under this goal, we'll fund legal education, renter-led campaigns and strategic legal action. Find out more about what we want to fund under this goal.

2. A comprehensive government strategy to solve the housing crisis

We want to see a comprehensive government strategy to solve the housing crisis, informed by the experiences of low-income Londoners.

Under this goal, we'll fund policy work, research and campaigning focused on tackling the housing crisis.

Find out more about what we want to fund under this goal.

3. A shared commitment to end temporary accommodation

We want to see a shared commitment to end temporary accommodation for Londoners by 2035.

Under this goal we'll fund organisations working with and advocating for Londoners in TA, work to build the voice of Londoners in TA, and more.

What we can't fund

• Work that only benefits one estate or very local area and has no wider significance or connections.
• Work that focuses on supported housing or rough sleeping.
• Campaigns or development work for proposals to develop community-led housing. We may consider making a repayable investment in such cases. See the social investment section for more information on this type of funding.
• Individual advice and casework that is not connected with strategic legal or policy work.
