Co-operatives and community benefit societies registered with the Financial Conduct Authority are also eligible, so long as their associated activities target housing and/or homelessness.
Partnership and consortia are also encouraged to apply. However, the lead partner must be eligible to apply and will be responsible for managing the grant money, if successful.
All eligible organisations need to have a minimum of three unrelated trustees and two unrelated bank signatories.
