Rough sleepers have needs that go beyond a roof over their heads, even with temporary Coronavirus government support. These needs include community, relationships, and coping with trauma. Our experience is that homeless people do better when they are listened to rather than merely put into sheltered accommodation without much human interaction. Through our support and a dedicated community, we can help them rebuild familial and social relationships and make a transition to a new life.

We draw on a wide network of committed volunteers, the support of businesses, and the hosting of our services by local venues and churches. Some of our volunteers and our guests in our residential project live and work together as a community to provide outreach services to those still sleeping on the street. This way, entrenched rough sleepers can work through their trauma in a structured, healing environment, and empower themselves through working to help others still on the streets.
