Dear John,

Thank you for your kind support for people experiencing homelessness. People like you, who are passionate about stopping the injustice of homelessness, make all our work possible.

Everything you do, whether it’s sharing our Home for All campaign on social media, speaking to your friends and family about the issues affecting homeless people, writing to your MP, giving your time or making a donation

Thanks to Crisis supporters, our frontline staff are reaching people like Owen.

"I'm praying I don't end up having to sleep rough again."

“I had a job as a cleaner but when my job ended I could no longer pay the rent. I couldn’t apply for benefits as I have ‘no recourse to public funds’. So I ended up sleeping rough in a park.

When we went into lockdown I was placed in a hotel by an outreach worker. It’s quite a nice place, I have my own room and get two meals a day which I am very grateful for.

Crisis is helping me to find work, but obviously everything has come to a stand-still now because of coronavirus. I’m praying I don’t end up having to sleep rough again."

Anything you are able to give will make a massive difference, and could help to:

Support people leaving temporary accommodation to find a permanent home
Give advice and practical help to people newly facing homelessness
Provide the support people need to keep their homes – with mental health, wellbeing, work and benefits
Call for the UK Government to commit to a plan that will enable everyone to have the security of a safe and settled home
Support local organisations to provide permanent housing through a grants scheme.

Support our Home for All campaign

We'll be hosting a special virtual event Home for All Live on Thursday 23 July.

Please join us to hear the experiences of members like Owen and frontline staff through the lockdown. There will be an opportunity for you to ask questions about homelessness during the pandemic and how we can seize this opportunity to end homelessness in Britain.

RSVP
[email protected]?subject=RSVP%3A%20Home%20for%20All%20Live and we'll send you more information closer to the event.

I know that by working together and refusing to let progress be undone, the end of homelessness is within our reach.

Thank you,

Jon Sparkes
Chief Executive, Crisis

PS Homelessness is not inevitable - and with your support we can make it a thing of the past. A donation today, big or small, will help people into a safe and settled home.
