We are a Coventry-Based Homelessness Prevention and Support Charity for Young People Aged 16-25

We are a youth homelessness charity that evolved in response to growing youth homelessness in Coventry.

​

Our service users are sometimes street homeless, or living in temporary hostel accomodation. However, the majority of them are classed as 'hidden homeless'. Hidden homeless is sometimes referred to as 'sofa surfing'

​

We work with young people aged 16-25 in Coventry who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or vulnerably housed to find, secure, keep, equip and maintain accomodation.
 

Our friendly engagement team 'walk with young people' through their challenges, ensuring no young person in Coventry faces homelessness alone, and provide each individual with a unique mix of practical and emotional support along the way. 

 

Our service is all about choice. Building upon lived experience, our youth work heritage and several years of experience we know that for a supportive relationship starts like any relationship- with rapport, trust and and mutual understanding of what that particular individual would like from support. We seek to no only support young people in overcoming housing challenges, but to flourish - whatever that might look like to them.

​

When young people join us they have access to a range of support including help with applying for and navigating things like home finder, benefits, council tax, DWP, and other support services such as mental health & GP services.

​

Young people can choose to engage with their own dedicated support worker and /or can attend our relaxed drop-in sessions for support and social activities (such as pool) and to access our food bank, clothes bank, furniture bank. 

 

We also sometimes help young people move into their own independent accomodation if they are unable to afford removal services.
