We recognise that people become homeless due to a range of issues including mental illness, drug and alcohol abuse, personal tragedy and unemployment. These are issues that can affect any one of us unexpectedly and leave us in need of assistance. We seek first to understand individuals and their families, and then work alongside them to help them overcome the varied challenges they face and break the cycle of homelessness. In providing our services, we offer innovative solutions to the complex problems of homelessness. We work to address the underlying causes in order to prevent people from spiralling into homelessness. When people have become homeless, we do our best to keep them safe and supported while we assist them back into a safe and secure environment. We empower our staff members to act locally by tailoring innovative solutions to meet the specific needs of both the person who is homeless and his or her community, in line with our national priorities.
