Grants to End Homelessness - 2023-24

The Mercy Foundation Grants to End Homelessness are available for seeding initiatives, services, projects, advocacy and research that will contribute to the goal of ending homelessness by supporting permanent housing, housing first and permanent supportive housing solutions.

Projects that focus on ending and preventing women’s homelessness especially chronic homelessness are priority areas for the program. We prioritise projects that provide lasting solutions to people’s homelessness.

Applicants must be able to specify measurable outcomes from the initiative. Those outcomes will need to show that the project has contributed to ending chronic homelessness or contributed substantially to increasing knowledge about the pathways into and out of homelessness – thereby increasing our understanding of how to prevent and how to end homelessness. All applications will need to outline their evaluation strategy and make clear how such outcomes will be measured.

Applicants must call the Mercy Foundation at least 2 weeks prior to this date to discuss your project before submitting an EOI.
