Make History: Let's end homelessness

All of us need a safe, secure and affordable home. It’s the foundation for everything else in our lives.

But the cost of living, rising rents, and a sheer lack of truly affordable housing are forcing record numbers of us into homelessness.

When inequality exists in our society, we can demand change and make history.

At the general election, you joined us to demand politicians make ending homelessness a society-wide mission. You showed that ending homelessness is a vote-winner.

We now have a UK Government elected on the promise of ending all forms of homelessness.

Are you ready to help us make these promises a reality and set us on a path to a future free from homelessness?

Why politicians need to act

A secure, safe, affordable home is the foundation for everything else in our lives. It’s something all of us need for a healthy, happy life.  

Successive UK Governments have not built enough social housing or effectively tackled homelessness – and now more of us don’t have a safe place to call home. The impact has been devastating. 

 

 

26% more people

177,487 social homes

lost in the past decade

Let’s make history

Let’s make history. Just like the people that won votes for women or equal marriage, we’re coming together to demand an end to homelessness.

An end to freezing nights on the streets. An end to sleeping on a different friend’s sofa every week. An end to months stuck in temporary accommodation with no way out.

We need the new UK Government to make ending homelessness a society-wide mission for the next decade. Here’s how they can do this.

Manoel's story

We all need a safe and secure home. But like thousands of us, Manoel is currently homeless in unsuitable temporary accommodation and it’s impacting his mental and physical health. This is his story.

 

The reality of homelessness

Andrea's story

”Where I have got myself out of homelessness, I want to help people that aren’t able to do that; to give them the support I never had.''

George's story

“I was first helped by Crisis about 17 years ago. I was rough sleeping at the time. They got me into a hostel. From there I moved into a room in a house, and then about a year later, I started fundraising.”
