Church Housing Trust is a charity dedicated to the rehabilitation and resettlement of homeless people of all ages and backgrounds. By tackling the longer-term issues that perpetuate homelessness, rather than providing quick fixes, Church Housing Trust offers new beginnings for homeless people of all ages. Our ultimate goal is to help homeless people regain their independence and resettle in the community, by supporting residents in over 70 projects including hostels, move-on housing, foyers, day centres, winter shelters, women’s refuges and mother and baby projects. |

We support the work of English Churches Housing Group, a housing association which provides accommodation and support for over 3,500 homeless and vulnerable people each day of the year. Their projects include hostels, move-on housing, foyers (accommodation with training programmes for young people), day centres, winter shelters, women's refuges, and drug/alcohol rehabilitation schemes. Church Housing Trust's funding makes a real difference to residents in more than 70 of these projects. Our ultimate goal is to help them regain their self-esteem and to equip them with the skills and confidence to resettle and to lead independent lives in the community. |

Church Housing Trust's Welfare Fund helps people from the day they
first |

We support a range of initiatives to prepare residents for independent
living. These include life skills training (e.g. cooking and budgeting);
funding training rooms and equipment; providing grants for residents
to attend training courses or clothes for attending job interviews. |
| • |
We help residents who are moving on from the hostels by providing
grants to purchase essential items of furniture or kitchen equipment.
This is a life-line to people with no resources of their own, who might otherwise move into a completely bare flat.

By becoming a friend to homeless people and supporting our work, you could
help us accomplish that vital objective - an independent future for more and
more people whose lives lack the security and dignity which most of us so fortunately can take for granted.
