Key takeaways

Oxfordshire Homeless Movement funds work that fills gaps in homelessness provision in Oxfordshire, so it suits groups whose work is in that area and in its themes of homelessness provision, NRPF housing support, home comforts, Housing First tenancies or lived-experience participation.
Neither its annual giving nor its grant range is stated, so you cannot judge a typical request size from its published information, and it is sensible to ask the contact shown before naming an amount.
No application process is published, so the best first step is to get in touch and explain how your work fills a gap alongside existing partners rather than duplicating them.
Nothing published says how competitive its funding is, whether timing matters, or whether existing relationships count, so treat your first contact as an enquiry and ask about these directly.

Overview

Oxfordshire Homeless Movement is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1200483).

Oxfordshire Homeless Movement is a charitable incorporated organisation whose objects are to provide relief and support for the homeless in Oxfordshire. It describes itself as a partnership of many organisations working to ensure that nobody has to sleep rough on the streets of Oxfordshire. It is currently funding three initiatives: a partnership of five specialist charities providing housing and support for people with leave to stay in the UK who are waiting for their official paperwork, grassroots community organisations bringing home comforts into partners' accommodation, and Personalisation Budgets that help Housing First guests turn houses into homes and maintain their tenancies.

What they fund

Priority Areas

Oxfordshire Homeless Movement funds work that fills critical gaps in homelessness provision in Oxfordshire, working in partnership rather than duplicating services already provided by its partners. Its grants support specialist charities providing housing and support for people with no recourse to public funds, and grassroots community organisations bringing home comforts into accommodation. It also allocates funds as Personalisation Budgets so Housing First guests can make their houses into homes, and funds the Lived Experience Advisory Forum, which brings people with lived experience into improving services. Its approach is practical and collaborative: it works with partners and asks people moving into accommodation what they need so support can be tailored to them.
