From unsafe shared housing to secure sheltered living in London
Thomas's flatshare with 3 people was plagued by antisocial behaviour. Eventually, Thomas received a Section 21 and was left with limited options. That’s when he was introduced to Homefinder UK.
Within weeks, we had secured Thomas with a modern sheltered housing flat, with lifts, safety features, and his favourite part — a stunning communal roof garden.
The property was more than a roof over his head, it was a place where he could start rebuilding his health and wellbeing.
A Pregnant Woman’s Journey to Safety After Domestic Abuse
We know that this story is not unique. Too many women fleeing abuse – especially those new to the UK – face significant barriers in finding a secure place to live. Many endure extended stays in temporary accommodation, struggling with feelings of isolation, fear and uncertainty.
Homefinder UK is committed to changing that. Our mission is not just about providing housing; it’s about restoring dignity, offering hope, and ensuring that no one feels alone in their fight for safety and stability.
From temporary accommodation to a permanent home
Billy was living in emergency accommodation, a hostel in West London that offered little hope or comfort. The environment was tough, the waiting list was long, and the outlook was bleak. But everything changed when his housing officer shared a link to Homefinder UK.
Billy was open to the idea of relocating. With no strong ties keeping him in London and a love for nature, the opportunity to move somewhere quieter was welcomed.
“Homefinder UK really changed my life. My time in that hostel was miserable, but now I’m genuinely happy. My face is glowing, my eyes are peaceful. I wouldn’t be in this position without you guys.”
