What The Homeless Project does, and does not, do
We are a small volunteer-run charity. We raise funds to build housing. We are not a crisis service, and we cannot arrange a bed for tonight or take referrals directly.
People are housed in our properties through community crisis centres: a housing worker there assesses what someone needs and matches them to suitable accommodation. If you are looking for somewhere to live, starting with Opening Doors or Ask Izzy above will get you to the right person faster than contacting us.
