Being homeless means not having a safe place to call home. We know thousands of young people sleep rough every night, but there are thousands more sleeping on sofas, floors, night buses or with strangers – these are the “hidden homeless”.
Young people have different issues and needs to adults, so they are many reasons why the can become homeless. It's often because it's not safe for them to stay at home, or family life has become too hard.
We support adults who have experienced or are at risk of homelessness, and who may also need to overcome a dependence on addictive substances.
We do this in a number of ways with:
- Supported housing
- Preventative outreach work
- Resettlement support
- Floating support services
