In the charity's own words
The principal activities of The Homeless Foundation are to provide homes to be used as 'move-on' accommodation to help homeless people 'move-on' from hostels and B&Bs. We also provide "Move-In" Grants to buy essentials that ensure their move to independent living is successful. From 2015 we also provide "Prevention Services" for 18 to 25 year olds - online advice & education programme for schools.
