The core belief of Shelter is that everyone should have a safe, secure and affordable place to call home. This year marks our 50th anniversary, but we are not celebrating. It is clear that sadly there is still a lot of work to be done before we succeed in our mission to end bad housing and homelessness.

Shelter's new partnership with Haringey LBC is a positive step forward in that mission. It aims to identify people at risk of losing their home as early as possible, find sustainable solutions and prevent homelessness in the borough.
