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
