Our newly formed Housing Advisory Panels bring together local tenants and councillors together to discuss and address local community issues. They are also responsible for awarding community grants, called HAP Residual Levy Grants.

These grants are funded by the Council’s “Residual Levy”, which is tenant levy money collected from tenants who currently have no local Tenants and Residents Association (TARA) to represent them.

The grants are awarded to help build stronger, successful communities by making funding available to local voluntary organisations, self-help groups and community projects that want to make a difference in their community and benefit those council tenants not already covered by a TARA.

The awards are currently a pilot only available in the north-east area of Sheffield, but if they are successful then consideration will be given to rolling them out across the city to other wards.

If your organisation has a project that it would like to set up and run in the Burngreave, Firth Park, Shiregreen & Brightside or Southey Wards then you may be eligible for one of these grants!

The maximum grant that can be applied for is £2,499 per project.

For more information about how to apply, please read the information and guidance sheets available to download from this page (either towards the bottom of the page or to the right, depending on your device).

If you decide to go ahead and apply, the application form to complete is also available to download from this page.

If you have any query please email us at HAPFund@sheffield.gov.uk or call the Community Engagement Line on Tel: 0114 273 5566.
