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.

 


  

IMPORTANT! VRF Application Form and Form Closure

Due to extremely high demand on our budget, the VRF grant application will be closed as of 12pm on Friday 1 March 2024 and will reopen at 9am on Wednesday 3 April 2024. We apologise for the short notice of this.

Grant Applications

  • During this closure period, we cannot accept any new grant applications.
  • Any pre-existing applications will be processed, providing they are resubmitted within the deadline given.
  • 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 reopen on Wednesday 3 April 2024 9am to 12pm.

 

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.
