Increasing our impact

In recent years the Foundation has championed the specific problem of homelessness amongst Veterans.

The Foundation currently has over 200 applications for accommodation per annum, many of which are from homeless Veterans. The Foundation is successful in breaking the common cycle of homelessness; no one who has come to us from a background of homelessness has returned to the streets, but currently we can only meet around 10% of the demand for our housing.

Therefore we are now halfway through our development strategy to build new homes for homeless Veterans; our latest development site is Chiswick War Memorial Homes.

The Foundation aims, over a two-phased programme, to provide a community comprising 36 homes and a community hub with IT and well-being activities, specifically designed for vulnerable and disabled ex-Service personnel, including those who have been homeless.

Our aim at CWMH is to settle Veterans, help rebuild their lives through facilitating community inclusion and back-to-work activities, and encourage fully-independent living for those who are capable of achieving this. The project will transform the existing estate into a vibrant and well supported ex-Service community, providing much needed accommodation to the highest standards and should be completed by June 2010.
