Greater Change believes that to move on from homelessness people often need two types of support. Financial and non-financial. There are fantastic charities, with support workers providing non-financial support, but often a lack of financial support. This means that often people access support and learn to overcome or better manage non-financial issues they were facing e.g. substance use, mental health, physical health or reconnecting with family. However, due to a lack of financial support, people can be in a position where they are ready to move on but still trapped in homelessness. For example, someone who cannot get a job without a stable home but cannot save for a rent deposit without a job.

How can your funds help solve this? When a client who needs funds to avoid homelessness or move on from it, Greater Change provides the funding. eg. identification, visas, skills courses, rent arrears, deposits etc. Its a very simple model, but it is also unique, and it works.
