The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust is delivering the Veterans’ Capital Housing Fund on behalf of the Office for Veterans’ Affairs. The Veterans’ Capital Housing Fund supports projects that contribute to the wider aim of ending Veterans’ homelessness by providing affordable and viable homes for Veterans.
Under this programme the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust will award grants of between £75,000 and £500,000 towards new builds and significant refurbishment, including extensions, of rental accommodation offering high quality support for Veterans with a housing need. Larger grants of between £500,000 to £1 million may be available for exceptional projects which meet additional criteria as outlined in the programme guidance below.
To be eligible, organisations must be either a registered charity that can show it works with Veterans or a registered social housing provider that can show it works with Veterans.
Projects will:
- Enable major refurbishment of existing social rented or affordable rented homes for Veterans.
- Enable extensions of existing buildings to increase the availability of Veteran housing.
- Increase the number of new build, homes/housing units available to Veterans at affordable or social rents.
- Ensure properties meet decent homes and energy efficiency standards.
