Accommodation Concern has been awarded £400,016 over four years from The National Lottery Community Fund to support the delivery of Northants Thrive.
Northants Thrive is focused on preventing homelessness, reducing poverty and strengthening financial resilience for people facing the greatest disadvantage. The project is built around long-term, community-based support in neighbourhoods where residents may be least connected to services and most at risk of financial crisis.
The funding means AC can work with people earlier, stay alongside them for longer, and help turn immediate advice into more lasting stability.
In years 3 and 4, the project will also develop community champions. These champions will be trained and supported by AC advisers, helping to build stronger local networks and making sure practical support continues beyond the life of the funding.
