Greater Change

Greater Change partners with charities and support workers who refer people to us who would benefit from our financial support. Cash grants we provide are typically for rent deposits, ID documents, training courses etc.

On average, Greater Change spends £850 per individual and last year 86% of the people we supported sustained their move into stable housing, saving the public purse over £35,000 per person per annum.

Greater Change has recently passed the milestone of supporting over 1000 people out of homelessness and we are on track to support another 1000 in the coming 6 months; having grown over 8x as an organisation in the last 12 months.

We are also currently running a large-scale randomised controlled trial that will produce world-leading evidence on the efficacy of personalised budgets at alleviating homelessness.

Our goal is ultimately to use personalised budgets as a dignified and effective tool to end homelessness.
