Spires offers comprehensive services, either independently or in collaboration, to people facing homelessness or poverty. Clients often deal with complex issues like unemployment, financial pressure, substance or alcohol addiction, and physical or mental health challenges that may lead to homelessness. Our services provide the necessary advice and support to help build their confidence and independence, enabling them to avoid or overcome homelessness while ensuring their safety and well-being.
Our Housing & Homelessness service supports homeless and vulnerably housed adults to secure and maintaining suitable accommodation through our specialist tenancy support, while addressing the root causes that may lead to homelessness.
