Aims/priorities: Routes Home Fund, powered by Greater Manchester Mayor's Charity, working in partnership with The Charity Service and the Booth Centre. Funding decisions made by people with first-hand experience of homelessness and those accessing homelessness services. Together, we’re putting resources and decision-making in the hands of the people and communities who understand what is needed to prevent and tackle homelessness.
Priorities identified by the Grant Committee include:
- Safe Accommodation
- No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF)
- Growing a community of people accessing services – reducing social isolation and empowering people who attend
Who can apply?
