At the general election, you joined us to demand a future free from homelessness.
We now have a UK Government elected on the promise of a strategy to get us back on track to ending homelessness and the biggest boost to social housing in a generation. It’s up to us to turn these promises into lasting change.
Help us hold the government to account. Join our calls for the new government to put us on a path to a future free from homelessness.
A safe, decent, affordable home is the foundation for a healthy, happy life.
But 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.
Add in the cost of living, rising rents and sheer lack of truly affordable housing, and you have a recipe for record-breaking homelessness.
None of us should be forced to spend a night on the streets fearing for our lives or to endure months of uncertainty in temporary accommodation with no way out.
But that's the reality for more than 242,000 families and individuals across England.
This is not inevitable. When inequality exists in our society, we can demand change and make history.
By building social housing and making sure everyone gets the support they need, we can be a country where we end homelessness.
The new UK Government promised a strategy to get Britain back on track to ending homelessness and a huge boost to social housing.

Please add your name to show the government you're counting on them to put us on a path to a future free from homelessness.
We're all feeling under pressure. But some of us are closer to the brink, and are at more risk of being pushed into homelessness. People in low paid jobs, living in poverty and poor quality or insecure housing are more likely to experience homelessness. Across Britain, more than 250,000 families and individuals are facing the worst forms of homelessness. That's unacceptable.
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.
Here’s how the new UK Government can start building a future free from homelessness.
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.
”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.''

“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.”
