Here at at NHYC we mean by homeless anyone who doesn’t have a fixed address or doesn’t feel safe where they are staying.
This could be sleeping on a friend’s couch, not being sure where you’re staying tonight, or staying with a person or partner you don’t feel safe with. You could have fallen out with your parents, family or friends and don’t feel comfortable or welcome returning home. You could be new to London, coming from somewhere in the UK or abroad. You could be a refugee or asylum seeker. You could be a student or working. You might have been kicked out by your landlord or unable to access rental properties in London. All of these are examples of homelessness. There’s no shame in it, it’s not your fault.
You deserve a safe home and we’ll do everything we can to make sure you get one.
