About the Housing with Care Fund

The Housing with Care Fund (HCF) is a Welsh Government capital programme to support independent living in the community for people with care and support needs, and to provide intermediate care settings in the community so that people who need care, support and rehabilitation can return to living independently or maintain their existing independence. Objective 3 provides small‑scale capital funding for high‑impact local projects. Minor projects can have a significant and disproportionately beneficial impact compared with their cost. The use of funding for Objective 3 projects is at the discretion of the RPB, so long as funded projects can be shown to contribute directly to achieving the HCF aims and objectives.
