Are You at Risk of Homelessness?
The current economic climate means more people than ever before are finding themselves at risk of homelessness.
Perhaps you have lost your job, are struggling to pay rent, or have had an unaffordable rent increase. Maybe you are out of home staying with family or friends, but need a long term solution. Perhaps you find yourself living in a dangerous, abusive situation, alone or with children and need a safe place to get away to.
There are many reasons you may find yourself at risk of homelessness, but help is available.
