EnglandHow your support can safely help people struggling with housing during the health emergency
At present, the government has advised everyone to stay at home in order to stay safe. This is to protect ourselves and others from the spread of coronavirus.
If anything, this pandemic has shown the importance of having a safe place to call home – something that not everyone has access to. Here are five things you can do from home to help support people facing bad housing and homelessness at this time.
We’re here to support anyone facing housing issues. But, even if you don’t have a housing issue yourself, someone who follows you on social media might.
You can help more people get the support they need by sharing our coronavirus and housing advice page.
Show your support for all those whose housing will be affected by the coronavirus pandemic, both now and in the months to come.
Join us today by giving us your name – let's build a better future together.
Councils are working hard to find accommodation for everyone right now. If you do see someone sleeping rough, contact Streetlink and let them know the person’s location, or contact your local council’s homelessness team with the same information. Streetlink’s phone lines are very busy at the moment so try the website or app first if you can.
