About us

Who we are

Crisis is a national charity that fights homelessness and empowers people to fulfil their potential and transform their lives.

Crisis defines its wider constituency as single homeless people. The focus of our work is on hidden homeless people who may be living in hostels and bed and breakfasts, or sleeping on friends and family’s floors. Crisis estimates that there are 400,000 hidden homeless people – but most do not feature in government statistics.

Our Charity Number is: 1082947.
Our Company Number is: 4024938. Registered in England & Wales.

Our vision

The Crisis vision is that all homeless people, or those in danger of becoming homeless, should be able to easily access individual help and support which will:

• help them to rebuild their lives
• Prevent them from remaining trapped in the cycle of homelessness.
