Funding for supported and specialist housing

This programme is a vital initiative, designed to increase safe accommodation provision for domestic abuse survivors and their children across London.

It strategically combines capital funding of up to £8.5 million from the Affordable Homes Programme (AHP) 2021-2026 with revenue funding of up to £4m from the Part 4 duty under the Domestic Abuse Act 2021.

The programme seeks to address safe accommodation provision gaps across London, identified in the 2021 needs assessment. As such, bids for under-served group accommodation will be prioritised.

Capital funding is available for accommodation starting on site by September 2026. Up to three years of revenue funding for support is also available, until March 2030. Bids must demonstrate how revenue support funding aligns with capital delivery.

Please see the Domestic Abuse Safe Accommodation Homes Programme prospectus for more about the sorts of schemes that could be funded.

The programme is currently open for continuous bidding - we encourage interested providers to reach out for further information, by emailing [email protected].

The Mayor secured a portion of a £270m national budget to deliver supported homes for Londoners sleeping rough as well as young Londoners (18-24) who are experiencing (or at risk of) homelessness.

This Single Homelessness Accommodation Programme (SHAP) was developed to meet existing housing pathway gaps while addressing unmet need. It was open for capital and revenue funding bids in 2023, with successful allocations published on MHCLG's website: Single Homelessness Accommodation Programme: funding allocations - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

This programme is currently in delivery and reports on its progress will be published in due course.
