We want to make people's experience of temporary accommodation (TA) as short, safe and healthy as possible. No one should face homelessness alone but more than 100k households are stuck in TA with no understanding of their rights, no knowledge of their housing options, and no way out of homelessness

Beneficiaries
Situation
There are over 100k households in TA in our country. Many tenants live in terrible conditions: there may be no lock on their door, squalid bathroom facilities or lack of bedding. People living in TA experience deteriorating mental and physical health, anxiety, higher drug use, social isolation and an increased risk of premature death. The lack of available permanent housing means that people's stays in TA are not short, safe or healthy.
Solution
We provide one-to-one healthcare, housing and wellbeing support for people living in TA. Although they have a roof over their head, the people we work with are homeless, and need professional support to improve their chances of a permanent home. Without support, many are at risk of falling into rough sleeping or worse. Alongside this, our Research and Policy team works to improve experiences of TA nationally, identifying and advocating for much needed long term solutions to hidden homelessness.
