The Start-Up Support Programme aims to help groups of local people to develop their own community led housing solutions. Funded by the Government, the grant programme is targeted to support the earliest stages of a community led housing group’s development and help community led housing projects at an early stage to explore options, to enable community led housing solutions to become a reality.
A total of £800,000 is available for this grants programme from February 2019 to 31 March 2020.

This is a rolling programme. It is open for applications from mid-February 2019 until mid-February 2020, or until all funding is committed, whichever is sooner.
