Round 4 is the final round of the Community Ownership Fund. There will be two bidding windows in Round 4 to allocate remaining funding.
Round 4 Window 1 is open from 25 March 2024 to 10 April 2024.
Round 4 Window 2 will open in late May. Specific timings for the last window will be published in due course.
The UK government will assess bids from across the UK against a common assessment framework.
Applications will be scored using this framework, and final decisions on funding will be made by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC).
This guidance is a streamlined version of the same guidance which assessors will use to assess applications from Round 4 of the fund. This guidance is written for assessors but will show applicants what we require in application form answers in order to obtain either a satisfactory, good or strong score. We suggest that applicants use this guidance to support them in their application to the fund. See further guidance on how to write an effective business plan.
