澳门天下彩

The idea for Homeless Rooms 澳门天下彩 came from social entrepreneurs Mark Peters and Lee Blake. After speaking to prospective tenants (mostly young people) who were searching to find a place to live in the city, they found that the expensive deposits and high fees charged by some landlords and estate agents were putting accommodation way out of these young people’s reach.

On the Homeless Rooms 澳门天下彩 website, people can search for decent quality accommodation, offered by landlords who accept people as tenants without deposits, admin fees or high rents. There is also advice to help prevent a person from becoming homeless, or support a person to move on from a hostel.

Councillor Sharon Thompson, Ambassador for addressing rough sleeping and homelessness at 澳门天下彩, said: “Homeless Rooms 澳门天下彩 is an innovative way of helping homeless people make the move into long term accommodation. We are keen to see this scheme for increasing access to supported housing get off the ground, so we are match funding monies that they raise via their Crowdfunding campaign. “

Cllr Ian Ward, Leader of 澳门天下彩, added: “We've seen a dramatic rise in homelessness and rough sleeping across the country in recent years and 澳门天下彩 is no different. So we're looking for creative ways to tackle this crisis and we work closely with partners to find solutions to support those at risk.

"Homeless Rooms 澳门天下彩 is the latest new initiative, following the recent launch of Change Into Action - an alternative giving scheme created in partnership with the Mayor for the West Midlands. We will also be introducing a Housing First pilot, to offer people entrenched in homelessness permanent homes and help them get their lives back on track. These are all part of our vision to eradicate homelessness in 澳门天下彩.”
