Aims/priorities: We want to support projects that need help to refurbish existing housing for Veterans. This could be transitional or permanent housing. Permanent housing can only include properties that are available to Veterans under a social rent; or are part of a wider facility that provides a rented home to a Veteran with the tailored support that meets their needs. This can include care homes.
You should show us how your project will meet the aims of this programme which is to refurbish existing Veterans housing and meets one or more of the following
- enable refurbishments of existing affordable homes for Veterans
- enable refurbishments of sites that increase the availability of Veteran housing
- ensure properties meet decent homes and energy efficiency standards We may give priority to applications that show how the refurbishment project will extend the usable life of the accommodation; ensuring that it can remain accessible to Veterans with a housing need.
Who can apply? To be eligible for this funding, you must be one of the following:
- A registered charity that can show it works with veterans or
- A registered social housing provider that can show it works with veterans.
There is more detailed information about eligibility in the programme guidelines available below. This is a complex programme, and it is important that you read the programme guidance carefully before you apply.
Grant amount: You can apply for grants of up to £75k for capital refurbishments projects lasting up to one year.
Application process: We encourage you to take a look at the application questions before beginning your online application to the Refurbishment Grants Programme.
Deadline: Monday 8 January 2024.
