Standing Tall

The opportunity to earn a living wage salary can be the gamechanger to enable someone to move away from the street for good. This pilot project seeks to match people experiencing homelessness who are ready for the opportunity with real living wage paid employment. The project will liaise with local businesses to provide these employment opportunities enabling local businesses to contribute positively to the issue. The project will provide a 2-3 month short term role before encouraging the business then provides a longer term contract to the individual. The project will also provide housing for this 6 month transition period. The project will use a strength based approach and will support at least 20 people to move away from the street for good in the first 12 months.
