Project 17 reports on the experiences of the families who have benefited from Project 17’s ‘Hotel Fund’, which has provided accommodation to families left street homeless following a local authority’s refusal of support.
The report investigates the material and psychological impact on children and families left street homeless by refusals of local authority support, and the difficulties faced by families seeking to challenge local authority refusals. We also detail our work engaging with five different local authorities (Southwark, Greenwich, Lewisham, Bexley and Lambeth) to raise concerns about the impact on families being left unsupported.
The provision of the Hotel Fund and the associated lobbying and research was funded by the Network for Social Change.
