The VRF
With the VRF, you provide emergency financial support so that people in vulnerable situations can find a safe place to live.
Designed to help a person find a new one, these grants can transform their circumstances within a matter of days because the inability to pay rent in advance, a deposit deposit, ID or removal costs shouldn’t prevent someone from having a safe place to live.
That’s why VRF grants are issued quickly and efficiently via experienced support workers. Grants for accessing accommodation are awarded up to £500. This is done via experienced support workers who work closely with those experiencing homelessness.
