We are the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. We help people out of homelessness and campaign for the changes needed to solve it altogether.

All of us need a decent home to be healthy and to thrive. Currently, though, this basic human need isn’t being met for so many people across the UK. This is unacceptable.

At Crisis, we work side by side with thousands of people each year as they find ways out of homelessness. We provide practical support to help people access benefits, healthcare services, employment opportunities, and more.

Our main aim is to relieve the huge pressure of homelessness by helping people find safe and affordable homes as quickly as possible.

We prioritise supporting people who are facing the most complex barriers to ending their homelessness and often have nowhere else to turn. As well as helping to end homelessness for individuals, we work to address the root causes that push people into homelessness in the first place.

We campaign on the political changes needed to end homelessness for good and conduct research to understand and highlight the scale, causes and consequences of homelessness.

Our strategy for ending homelessness

It’s a scandal that people are homeless. Every day, it’s destroying lives in our communities. But we can solve it. By working together, we can create a stronger society for us all.

In ten years, the number of people experiencing homelessness will be going down. This doesn’t mean that no one will ever lose their home again. But there will be better ways to prevent it and solutions when it happens. Our strategy sets out how we’ll achieve this.
