Homeless Care

Homeless Care, Maidstone Day Centre is there to help homeless and vulnerable people turn their lives around.

The causes of homelessness are many. It could be a relationship breakdown, spiralling debt because of a partners illness, redundancy, a loaded credit card that wasn’t a problem with two decent wages or unplanned expenses like having to replace a car, the only means of getting to work. There are many routes to losing it all and it could happen to any one of us. Happily, because of people who care enough to give, homelessness isn’t forever, just a difficult path that has to be walked, but not alone. Homeless Care, established in 1989 are there to help, advise and signpost to a better place.

Homeless Care can support clients to obtain a copy of a birth certificate or passport, a National Insurance Number and bank account which are all generally needed by employers to be able to employ new workers. Often by the time they are ready to start work they will have accommodation as an address is often required by employers as well but in the event the client is just starting out at work and needs a wage to be able to afford accommodation, Homeless Care can provide a ‘care of’ residency address.

The overarching purpose of working with Homeless Care is to provide permanent employment at SWEEEP Kuusakoski where clients can get a steady income which can then be the start of a new life.
