Welcome to the VRF grant application portal

The VRF (Vicar’s Relief Fund) provides crisis grants to individuals at risk of, or currently experiencing, homelessness. Our grants are open to all 4 Nations of the UK and must be applied for via frontline workers. We consider up to £350 to prevent eviction, and up to £500 to help access accommodation.

 


  

VRF Application and Form Closure

IMPORTANT UPDATE - REVISED RE-OPENING DATE

We have taken the difficult decision to extend the VRF closure period to enable us to make necessary changes to increase effectiveness and efficiency. The VRF will re-open on Monday 28th April 2025 at 9am.

  • During this closure period, we cannot accept any new grant applications.
  • Any pre-existing applications will be processed.
  • Please note: After the form is reopened, we cannot consider new applications that are retrospective (e.g. where clients have moved into accommodation during the closure period)

Post-Grant Evidence

  • Post-grant evidence can be submitted during closure

New User Registrations

  • New registrations will also be closed during this time
  • Pre-existing New User Registration Forms will be processed during closure

The form will re-open on Monday 28th April 2025 at 9am.

 

Registering and applying for a grant:

We do not accept applications from individuals directly. If you are a paid frontline worker, supporting people at risk of, or currently experiencing homelessness, you can apply to us on behalf of the individuals you are supporting.

Before you can submit a grant application on behalf of someone you are supporting, you need to apply for a user account with us, via our flexi-grant portal.

To begin this, scroll down and click on the ‘register’ button at the bottom of this page. After verifying your email address, you will then need to complete a New User Registration form. You will not be able to begin a grant application until this has been submitted, checked, and approved by our team. We aim to process the forms within 5 working days. 

If you have already set up your email address and password, click the ‘login’ button at the bottom of the page to access your account.
