Our impact goals
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 can advocate for their housing rights.
We want to see a London where significantly more low-income people are accessing legal and community-level advice on housing.
Under this goal, we'll fund specialist legal support, renter support, legal education and more. 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.
We particularly want to fund equalities groups and organisations with a focus on the private rental sector.
Find out more about what we want to fund under this goal.
3. A shared commitment to end temporary accommodation
This goal is currently closed to applications.
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.
How we fund advice work in this area
We will prioritise funding housing advice services for:
- existing relationships in outer London
- organisations with specialist, skilled staff
- advice organisations with established strong collaboration with local policy and community partners.
What we don't fund
We don't fund work that focuses on rough sleeping, although we know this is important work within the homelessness sector. Our focus is on the root causes of homelessness, and we want to reduce the numbers of people becoming homeless in the first place. This means prioritising work that addresses the roots of the housing system crisis, that put some people more at risk than others.
