In Basingstoke and Deane we are working together to reduce homelessness in the borough.

Throughout the pandemic, local homeless services, in partnership with the council, supported 66 people away from rough sleeping. Since the pandemic we have continued to work collaboratively to ensure those who moved into accommodation are supported to ensure they continue to live independently.

Your help can make a difference right now.

Homelessness isn't always visible and is often misunderstood. Sofa surfing, overcrowded housing, B&Bs - these are all forms of homelessness that often go unseen.

Understanding the reality is the first step to ending the stigma (1/2)
