If you are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, we can help you.
To us, homeless means sleeping on the streets or living in a hostel, shelter or refuge. It also means living in supported housing because you have been homeless, sofa surfing, or living with friends/family as you have nowhere else to go. And it can mean living in a B&B, a squat or other temporary accommodation.
We offer free practical and creative workshops, individual advice and guidance sessions in local hostels, day centres and libraries.
Finding a home and settling in well
Our housing coaches can help you find a rented home. We provide Renting Ready training in managing money and bills, finding flatmates or DIY.
