Homeless Day Centre providing a warm, friendly and safe environment for the homeless and vulnerable.

Streets 2 Homes was incorporated in July 2007, following the amalgamation of Harlow Accommodation Project and Harlow Homeless Centre to avoid duplication of certain activities and take advantage of cost savings. We offer a range of support services for homeless people or those at risk of becoming homeless.

Why the community needs this charity

At the centre we offer refreshments, a hot meal and shower facilities. It is a friendly, safe place where the homeless and vulnerable housed can come to socialise, receive support and guidance. We work with local landlords to find suitable accommodation and assist our clients with budgeting once they are housed. We also encourage every individual to reach their potential by offering training sessions, job clubs and by working closely with other organisations to meet the needs of our clients.

Results and outcomes

For many of our clients we are like a family encouraging and supporting them through the transition of becoming housed and reintegrated into society. In the last 6 months 5 of our clients who we helped to house have found employment through our job club, 3 have returned to further their education and one client has been motivated to start up their own business. These are all individuals who have been homeless.
