Commonweal Housing, an independent social justice charity working to investigate, pilot and champion housing-based solutions to social injustice, is offering up to three grants of between £5,000 and £10,000 to carry out a feasibility study to evaluate a housing and support model that addresses a specific social injustice.

The Autumn 2024 Call for New Ideas is exclusively focused on injustices around migration, asylum and human trafficking.

There is particular interest in new and imaginative ideas for housing projects that seek to:

Address transition points between and within systems that drive housing insecurity (such as asylum to refugee status, the NRM lifecycle, unaccompanied minors to adulthood, family reunification, etc).
Support survivors of trafficking, both non-UK and UK nationals.
Demonstrate possible long term cost savings benefits for the government through focusing on community integration or employability support, as examples.

Not-for-profit organisations in the UK may apply. They do not need to be experts in housing or have experience in delivering housing projects. However, they do need to demonstrate their understanding of the issue they are seeking to address.

Joint applications will be accepted. Partners must be a not-for-profit but can include local or combined authorities.

The deadline to apply is 4 November 2024 (17:00).
