Just as the Homestead Mission is to work hand in hand with the NHS, to help improve their outcome; so too the Business Plan will rely on a union of private funding for capital cost, and public funding for operational costs:

Capital investment: Philanthropic funding and charitable grants
Staff and running costs: NHS and Social Care funding; based on fees paid for referrals.

Our 3-year Plan includes research, development, design, build and set-up of the first Homestead, Phase One. For the construction of each Homestead Community, including land acquisition and set-up, we will be seeking between £1m and £5m.

Operational Costs for each Homestead Community will be approximately £1m / year.
For income from NHS and Social Care, we are benchmarking fees charged by service providers around the country - which range from £1k to £5k+ per week per resident - and will develop a fee-model to ensure affordability for all.

In addition, the Revenue generated from enterprise and retail could, over time, raise significant funds. Indeed there is symbiotic potential for compatible revenue-generating businesses such as thrift-shops, construction and storage, old peoples’ care homes, and pet-care centres to be developed, which may also help subsidise the cost of care in the Homestead Community.
