If you have a question, query or idea, we’d love to hear from you.
Midland Heart, Family Mosaic and Affinity Sutton joined together to commission this ground breaking research, through our shared passion to support vulnerable individuals.
Our teams work hard every day to help people have a place to call home. Seeing the impacts of homelessness first hand, we know that it is vital to understand the value of safe and secure housing.
Previous research has focused on the cost to public services of homelessness, but this doesn’t show the full picture. Only through exploring the cost to individuals, can we recognise the wider value of the housing and support services we provide.
We are proud to support this innovative research, which uses statistical methods and life satisfaction data, to establish the cost to an individual of being without a secure home. In doing so, the figures presented in this report illustrate the significant human cost of homelessness.
Helping people to move on from homelessness and providing affordable housing across our communities, will always be at the heart of our organisations. While there are challenging times ahead for us and the people we support, our work is more important now than ever.
