The Quaker Housing Trust: Housing Project for Those in Need

Closing date

The Trust offers Project Development Grants of up to £6,000 to support early-stage work, including feasibility studies, professional advice and planning costs for projects that will improve, expand or create genuinely affordable, environmentally sustainable rented housing. 

Its Capital Loans and Grants programme provides interest-free loans of up to £30,000 for rent-generating housing projects, and grants of up to £20,000 for housing projects supporting people with No Recourse to Public Funds. 

Applications are open to registered charities with an annual turnover below £1.5 million, although Quaker bodies are exempt from this limit. Organisations must work in England, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man. 

Priority will be given to projects in underrepresented areas, including the East of England, South West England and Wales, as well as housing for older people, people with No Recourse to Public Funds, and minoritised groups such as 

  • LGBTQ+ people 
  • Black and other ethnically minoritised people 
  • people living with disabilities 
  • refugees and asylum seekers 
  • prison leavers and 
  • care leavers. 

The deadline for Capital Loans and Grants Expressions of Interest is 5pm on 1 July 2026. The deadline for Project Development Grant applications is 5pm on 11 August 2026.
