For thousands of people home is wherever they end up that night. With your help, Crisis SmartMove can change this
Sometimes people have no option but to set up home on the streets. They find whatever shelter they can and hope that one day, they’ll have a place to call their own.
The lucky ones find a room in a hostel, sleep on a friend’s sofa, bed down in a squat or stay in second-rate B&B accommodation. But this is only a short-term solution. Many end up being forced back onto the streets. | |
These people are out of sight, trapped in a never-ending cycle. They move from place to place, constantly worrying about where they’re going to sleep next. They desperately need a permanent and secure home if they’re ever to break out of this cycle.
At Crisis, we see hidden homeless people. We want to help them find a permanent place to live and teach them the everyday skills needed to keep and look after a home. This will give them the structure
and security they need to turn their lives around.
