Resources for journalists

London is facing a homelessness crisis. Local authorities are facing a seventh year of cuts, and social housing stock across the capital has almost been wiped out.

Reporting on homelessness can help drive the topic to the top of the political agenda. We seek to be a voice for change, and help the people we work with get their voices heard. We work collaboratively with the media, and can provide case studies, expert spokespeople and comment on the latest news.

Get in touch with our press office to talk about how we can help you with your story.
