What we do
Crisis Skylight
Our Crisis Skylights offer a variety of activities for homeless people and the general public. Our first Skylight is based at Crisis head office in east London. Our second Skylight is in Newcastle. |
Crisis Christmas
Crisis opens seven centres between 23 - 30 December offering homeless or vulnerably housed people companionship, access to essential services, learning opportunities |
Skylight Cafe
In our welcoming cafe at 64 Commercial Street you'll find tasty food, refreshing drinks, great art, and an inspiring space. Most of all the cafe offers a route into work for homeless people. |
Crisis Supportive Housing Model
A new model for sustainable communities. The Crisis Supportive Housing model provides innovative solutions to homelessness while creating high quality, affordable homes for low-income essential workers, and formerly homeless adults. Crisis is seeking to develop projects using this model.
More information on the Supportive Housing model.
Crisis Changing Lives Awards
Crisis provides grants of up to £2500 to help homeless people move towards a work-based, vocational goal. The money can be used to fund training, or buy equipment needed to find work or set up a business. |
The Learning Zone
The project provides free courses and study support for homeless people in many subjects. Come along and learn in small, friendly classes. All the courses lead to an accredited qualification. |
Private Renting and Housing
The PRS can provide a sustainable home for people in housing need and Crisis works with local authorities and voluntary agencies to help them make best use of the PRS. Crisis has been working in this area since 1997 when it developed a best practice model for deposit schemes, Crisis SmartMove, which has helped over 11,000 people into accommodation.
