The challenge

In London, many people ready to leave homelessness remain trapped in temporary housing. Without deposits, references, or tenancy histories, they are shut out of the private rental market, blocking pathways to stability.

Our approach

The Fund, managed by Resonance, purchases homes and leases them long-term to housing partner, Notting Hill Genesis. These are sublet to individuals as stepping-stone tenancies, helping them build skills and confidence to re-enter mainstream renting.

The Fund

The Real Lettings Property Fund was developed by Resonance and homelessness charity, St Mungo’s. The Fund provides homes for people in temporary accommodation or at risk of homelessness, helping them become more independent and enabling them to make positive developments in other areas of their lives. The housing partner also provides personalised coaching and support for tenants to prepare them for a successful and planned move into independent accommodation.
