Our work is channelled through five main initiatives:
- The Winter Night Shelter Network: we provide funding, training, support and accreditation for community-based night shelters across England. We have created a ground-breaking website enabling people experiencing homelessness to identify available rental properties that accept DSS payment. We pay deposits etc if needed.
- Faith in Affordable Housing: we work with churches to develop affordable homes on their derelict or disused land.
- Hosting: we run a hosting programme for destitute migrants while they resolve their immigration status. These individuals would otherwise be forced to sleep on the streets as they are not entitled to benefits or housing.
- Refugee Lodgings: we pair resident landlords with a spare room with newly-granted refugees at risk of homelessness for six months. This provides the resident landlord with a rental income and the refugee with a home while they find work.
- Citadel: a homelessness prevention programme which utilises trained volunteers to support people into homes, and then helps them to maintain their tenancies, access training, support, healthcare, bank accounts etc.
