Grant funding of £3.2 million to advise churches on using land for housing

The Almshouse Association has been working with the Church of England to explore how church land can be more easily used for almshouse development. It’s a partnership that feels entirely natural – our two institutions share over a thousand years of interconnected history in caring for communities.

We’re pleased to share that the Church of England team leading efforts to deliver more affordable housing on church land have now officially launched their project – along with a new £3.2 million grant fund.

If you’re aware of a potential almshouse site on church land, this could be just the support needed to get things started.
