August 2010 - Homelessness Funding

Spark 2010 Opens for Applications (UK)
Spark has announced that its 2010 challenge is now open for applications. The Spark 2010 challenge has £1.6 million available to support an enterprising approach to prevent and tackle homelessness. Spark offers targeted investments to charities, voluntary organisations, social enterprises, housing associations, local authorities and primary care trusts to develop sustainable trade activities that will generate a profit or surplus, and use this to scale up their activities and increase their social impact. Spark wants to encourage applications from organisations developing business ideas that provide training, skills development, employment and independent living which will pioneer a change to help eradicate homelessness. Eligble organisations can apply for a cash investment of up to £150,000 as well as at least 5 days business development support to create Business Plans and presentational skills support. Winning organisations also have the opportunity to secure additional financing of up to £500,000 from Big Issue Invest. The closing date for applications is 5pm on the 13th August 2010....
