Will you donate today so that we can work with people who need a safe and stable home?
Tracey works as a teacher for children with special needs and lives with her 12-year-old granddaughter Maisie. Despite being on the social housing waiting list for 10 years, Tracey is still stuck in expensive private rented accommodation.
'I just feel like I'm drowning. I just feel like I'm on a constant roller coaster. There's no light at the end of the tunnel. What happens if I get served notice here? I've got nowhere else to go, and that is what keeps me awake at night.'
– Tracey
The high cost of rent means Tracey struggles to save money or provide the life she wants for her family. Her situation has taken a toll on her mental health as she lives in a constant state of anxiety.
Home is more than just bricks and mortar. It's where our mental wellbeing flourishes and our personal story begins.
But today, the right to a safe home is being denied to millions of people across the country. People whose lives are impacted by unfit housing conditions, sky-high rents, insecurity and the threat of eviction.
We offer expert information and advocacy for those facing housing challenges through:
personalised face-to-face advice in our local hubs
emergency helpline and webchat services
free legal support
Your donations make real change possible. Donate today to stand with the 1.3 million households on waiting lists for social homes in England.
