Crisis is the national charity for single homeless people. It provides services to and campaigns on behalf of the 400,000 homeless people in Britain, many of whom live out of sight in hostels, temporary bed and breakfast accommodation, squats or sleep on the floor of family and friends.
The charity's work ranges from helping homeless people to secure private rented accommodation to supporting them to achieve their vocational goals.
Crisis see how homelessness deskills and isolates people, eroding the kind of practical and social skills that most of us take for granted. Consequently, rebuilding skills through learning and training sits at the heart of the organisation.
