@ConcreteFuture we know only too well that supporting the homeless takes dedicated 24/7 support, we believe creating #HappyHomes is crucial to recovery & creating independence.
Today we set the countdown clock on launching a new dedicated home for entrenched rough sleepers
ROUGH SLEEPING ISN'T THE ONLY FORM OF #HOMELESSNESS ❌
You're classed as #homeless if you're staying with friends, sofa surfing or living in your car.
If your housing situation isn't SECURE, it's not a REAL HOME ❗

😲🏡 When we see NEW #HomelessnessStats, it’s easy to be shocked... but there are LOADS of reasons why people find themselves without a home
This includes relationship breakdowns, the rising #CostOfLiving or losing a job 😔
Here's @DeanMConcrete with the #reality ⬇️
Every 10 seconds, @samaritans responds to a call for help 📱📞
Today we're SO proud to share their awareness-raising campaign #TalkToUs, to remind people that Samaritans are there 24/7 for anyone who needs someone to listen 💚
Did you know we’re #MakingHomelessnessHistory in #CheshireEast? 🤩

It is a privilege that the young people @ConcreteFuture chose to live with us and let us help within their individual journey's.
Focusing on their strengths and their individualism is vital to help them realise they are more than and fight against the 'care leaver stigma'
Last year 129,000 young people approached their local council for help to avoid becoming #homeless 🤯🏘️
There are LOADS of reasons for #YouthHomelessness, but one of the biggest is young people becoming #CareLeavers...

Did you watch #TeensInCare with @realjoeswash this week? 📺
Joe shared real stories of UK #CareLeavers, who've aged out of the care system & have to make their own way in the world when they turn 18
In #Stoke, that's when we step in to help... ⬇️

Care leavers are young people who were previously ‘children of the state’ but aged out of the system when they turned 18
They face the worries and challenges that any young person does, with the added pressure of finding somewhere to live, paying bills & managing a home 🏠
Young Person's Operations Manager @AnnaMather7 has shared her thoughts on the stats and explained how her team supports #CareLeavers in #StokeOnTrent 🙌

The VALUE of #LivedExperience 🤩
We're SO grateful to our incredible team of peer mentors, who use their unique experiences of #homelessness, #addiction & #ComplexNeeds to help others 🙌
That includes Sterling, who first faced #homelessness when he was just 16 👇
ALT “I’ve been homeless, so I know how it feels to be on that side. I know how people treat you. This means that I can see things from the customer’s point of view.” Sterling, Peer Mentor
He worked with different services, started a new chapter & now uses his experience to help others 🏡
That includes volunteering for the #DestinationHome Gateway & our new LGBTQ+ support hub, Phoenix 🌈
