When was the last time you asked your parents or friends for help? We know that the journey out of homelessness relies on building bridges and creating a support network and it's proven to work 💙 What would you say to someone who thinks they have nobody to turn too?

It's international Women's Equality day, so let's talk about why gender-specific services matter 🧵

Rhiannon became homeless at 20 after being rejected by her family for her gender identity. Thanks to our Tŷ Pride project she’s living independently and wants to use her journey to support others. Her message? “Stand up for yourself and who you are.” #PrideMonth youtu.be/T5aNqTz8MQo?...

Finally, after more than 200 years, the Vagrancy Act (1824) will be fully repealed in England and Wales. This means that rough sleeping will no longer be a criminal offence. [1/3🧵]

Thousands of young people are not on the streets, but they don’t have a safe, stable place to call home. This story from Mia shows first hand the impact this has on young people. It's crucial we spotlight the hidden homeless and help share their message far and wide: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
