We're delighted to welcome Safe and Sound Homes (SASH) as a new member of Homeless Link!
Safe and Sound Homes (SASH) exists to help 16–25-year-olds affected by homelessness across North Yorkshire. The charity offers vulnerable young people a safe and secure place to stay, keeping them safe at a time of crisis.
About Safe and Sound Homes (SASH)
The charity operates an emergency accommodation service, Nightstop and a longer-term Supported Lodgings scheme. Our solution to youth homelessness is a simple one, founded on the willingness of local people to support those struggling in their own communities.
For some young people, a short stay in Nightstop is all that is needed to facilitate a return home or find somewhere permanent to live. For others, we enable a transition into independent adulthood by providing a safe place to call home in our Supported Lodgings scheme. Whilst putting a roof over someone’s head is essential at a time of crisis, it does not resolve the issues that lie at the root of homelessness. To address these, we work with our hosts and partner organisations to provide the individual support that each young person needs. This includes emotional support; helping young people to continue in or return to education; help to enter the workplace for the first time; and learning practical skills such as budgeting and cooking.
We support young people to change their lives and build a positive future. Our ambition is that those we help never face homelessness again and go on to live and thrive independently.
