Community Grants Programme About To Go Live

The Community Grants Programme is part of the Coalition’s £100m Empty Homes Programme, which runs from 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2015. This will be accessible to community-led-organisations and as part of this funding programme they will not be required to become a registered provider (such as a registered housing association).

The Programme will be between £10m – £30m and bidding is expected to run from late January until the end of March 2012. The size of the programme will depend on the level of demand. Bidding is due to start in late January and will run until the end of March

Self-Help Housing.Org & HACT  are running a series of Briefing Events, aimed at helping community-led-organisations with bidding and securing funding allocations from the Community Grants Programme (CGP).

These regional events will be free of charge and will provide an opportunity to find out as much as possible about the way in which the Programme will work and the arrangements for bidding.  They will be running from 24 January 2012 to 10 February 2012 aroundEngland

 Jon Fitzmaurice, Director of Self-Help-Housing.Org, says, ‘These briefings will provide community-led groups with all the information that they need to bid for funding.  We hope that as many community organisations as possible are able to bring empty properties back into use’.

 For more information about the support that will be available to groups from self-help-housing.org & HACT  visit the Empty Homes Grants pages
