In the charity's own words

We provide emergency or temporary single room accommodation on a 24/7 basis to adults in West Norfolk with nowhere else safe to stay. We are funded by grants from other charities and grant-making bodies and donations from churches, community groups and individuals. We do not charge our guests to stay with us but we do support eligible guests to claim Housing Benefit towards the cost of their stay.
