The reality for homelessness charities

  • Demand is surging — frontline staff report rising need and housing that is harder than ever to secure.
  • Funders want hard housing outcomes — tenancies sustained, prevention, move-on — across fast-moving casework.
  • Crisis work leaves no time to write the bids that keep the crisis work funded.
