Commonweal Housing Limited funds housing-based solutions to wider social problems, with a strong emphasis on research, feasibility studies, and pilot development rather than large-scale service delivery. They seem especially interested in projects that address housing-related social injustice, including youth homelessness, migration/asylum/trafficking, women’s homelessness, and the links between housing, criminal justice, and reoffending. Their support often combines funding with commissioning, partnership-building, and evaluation to help frontline organizations test and refine new models.
Small-to-moderate grants and commissioned research support, typically around $5,000-$10,000 for feasibility or pilot-stage work; some awards are program-specific or invite-supported rather than open-ended, and the funder also supports academic research and evaluations through targeted calls.
Monitor the Call for New Ideas and research support opportunities, since funding is geared toward early-stage concepts, feasibility studies, and pilot evaluations in the UK. Applicants should frame proposals as practical housing-based responses to a clearly defined social problem, ideally with a partner organization, strong learning/evaluation plan, and relevance to Commonweal’s priority issues.
