Support a Vital Cause: Stonewall Housing provides essential housing advice, advocacy, and support to LGBTQ+ individuals facing homelessness or unsafe living conditions. Last year alone we were able to support 3200 LGBTQ+ people, however we know that there are more than 70,000 peple across the UK who need our help. Our services include a mental health advocacy program, specialised support for those escaping domestic abuse or for people who need support around drugs or alcohol, as well as targeted assistance for those over 50, and advice drop-ins across London, Brighton, and Birmingham. Additionally, we provide supported accommodation for 18 to 25-year-olds.
One third of the people we support have experienced some kind of abuse in addition to homelessness whether that be abuse at the hands of parents, siblings or partners. Stonewall Housing strives to be a judgment-free support system to enable people to begin to rebuild their lives.
