Justlife to provide advice and support to individuals living in Unsupported Temporary Accommodation (UTA). People living in UTA are not considered homeless although residents do not have access to safe, secure and settled housing. They suffer with deteriorating health and lose control of their life.

Situation
Justlife works with vulnerable people who are close to the streets, living in UTA in Manchester and in Brighton. Many live in poor conditions and consequently, people entering UTA are likely to experience deteriorating mental/physical health, increased anxiety, higher drug/alcohol use + social isolation. A significant increase in the numbers of households in Temporary Accommodation(TA) have been reported and and research has highlighted that there are an additional 711 across Greater Manchester.
Solution
Justlife provides support for those living in crisis via our outreach workers. We offer support and give advice to individuals living in UTA to enable them to move into safe, suitable accommodation. We provide holistic, social, learning/development opportunities to improve their overall well-being. We're concerned about the further 'hidden' UTA residents we have recently identified that are not receiving any support and with additional funding, we could support these vulnerable people.
