Help The Homeless provides grants to small to medium registered charities wanting help with projects focusing on helping the homeless return to mainstream society. Organisations reaching out for help from the charity may run small to medium sized projects, or residential/ training facilities that focus on helping the homeless rebuild their lives.

The charity will not offer grants to organisations or projects with a turnover of more than a million pounds per year and grants will generally be £5,000 pounds and below. The charity will not fund projects relating to offering shelter to homeless people, or offering any other forms of sustenance.

The charity receives a large amount of applications which relate to the funding of technology like computers or laptops but these are rarely supported. It regularly however supports charities with requests for capital costs of equipment such as furniture or building costs.

The grants provided by the charity are distributed four times a year on the 15th of March, June, September and December. Only one application will be accepted for consideration by the charity once every 2 years, regardless of the outcome of the application.
