Today is both #WorldHomelessDay and #WorldMentalHealthDay. At Right There, we know that homelessness is rarely caused by a single issue, and neither are the solutions. That's why, alongside our homelessness prevention work, we provide counselling and mentoring to support people's mental health, confidence, relationships and overall wellbeing. Because lasting change isn't just about housing. It's about supporting the whole person 💛 Read more: rightthere.org/supporting-mo…

Spotlight on Right There - last year we supported more people than ever through our nine programmes. We're always Right There when people need us 💛

"I don't think they realise how much they helped me, with just being constant for me, because people have let me down my full life." Cheryl's words show that ending homelessness is about so much more than providing a home. We know that experiences such as family breakdown, addiction, trauma and poor mental health can all contribute to homelessness. To move forward and build a stable future, people often need the right support alongside secure housing. That's why we're Right There when people need us. This #ScottishHousingDay, we're sharing Cheryl's story, as she reflects on her recovery from addiction, rebuilding her life, and the difference our Outreach team made by being an ever present source of support when she needed it most. Look out for Cheryl's full interview later this week 💛

Having a safe, stable home is the foundation for moving forward. We know that there isn’t enough housing in Scotland to meet demand, so we work with local authorities and landlords to create opportunities for people who need them. Whether someone is experiencing homelessness, facing a housing crisis, or waiting to move into a permanent home, we help make sure suitable accommodation is available when it’s needed 💛 We’re always keen to hear from landlords who have properties available to support our Short-term Housing programme.

People facing homelessness cannot wait years for new homes to be built. In our latest blog, our CEO Janet Haugh highlights that while increasing affordable housing supply remains essential, we must also make better use of the homes that already exist. Through our short-term housing model, Right There works with Glasgow City Council, landlords and letting agents to provide safe, furnished homes in local communities, helping people access stability and support while longer-term housing options are identified. Today, we help manage almost 600 properties across Glasgow. Read more about why tackling homelessness requires action on every front: rightthere.org/glasgows-home…
