the support they need to find, and
keep, a home.
answer six urgent calls each year
to our helpline, often the first port
of call for people in housing need.
Thousands of families in Wales are stuck in temporary accommodation. Nobody should face homelessness alone.
We helped 1 in every 96 children in Wales last year, but there are still so many that need our help.
Hostels. B&Bs. Hotels. These are not homes.
Temporary accommodation is meant to be a last resort, and never more than a short-term option before people can get the home they need.
But for many families, it becomes a trap… unsafe, unsuitable, and damaging to children’s health, education, and wellbeing.
Some children will share a room with their parents. Others will have no space to play, no quiet corner to do homework – and no idea where they’ll be living next week.
Thanks to your support, we are already helping one person in housing need every 5 minutes. But we know there are more people out there who need us.*
We support people experiencing all types of homelessness, and those at risk of it. Our legal advice, housing guidance and emotional support helps keep people in their homes. And in 90% of cases, we prevent homelessness entirely.** Our help is free of charge, and available to anyone in Wales who needs it.
HOME IS EVERYTHING. PLEASE HELP US PROTECT IT.
