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 a B&B or other temporary accommodation. And it can also mean living in supported housing because you have been homeless, sofa surfing, or living with friends/family as you have nowhere else to go.
