2020 has been an exceptional year for those rough sleeping or homeless. The Government’s “everyone in” approach has meant that SMART CJS has, for the first time, been providing support for this vulnerable group in hotels. And never has demand been higher and needed as much as now.

A new model has emerged of helping those with complex needs have shelter, food and regular support, meaning many can make positive changes to their lives sooner than previously imagined. Access to health and mental health services as well as welfare, benefits and housing partners has signalled a new dawn in how we, as a society, deal with homeless and rough sleeping.

It’s an exciting and challenging time for this sector – do you want to be involved at the cutting edge of homelessness and rough sleeping and make a real difference to peoples’ lives?
