The Reality of Homelessness in London Today

Homelessness does not define you.
It’s a temporary challenge — not a permanent reality.
Everyone deserves the security of a safe and stable home. No one should ever be left without shelter.
At STN, we stand on the front lines of a growing and urgent homelessness crisis. We are here for those who need us — but the challenges are increasing. If you or someone you know is at risk of losing your home, facing unsafe living conditions, or dealing with eviction, we’re here to help.
We provide support, guidance, and advocacy to secure safe, stable housing — because everyone deserves a place to call home. We are STN. We work with young people and adults to overcome homelessness and build a better future. With your support, we can continue to be there for those who need us most.
