Homewards - Lambeth

“If we want to be a borough that enables children to thrive, then it is essential that we support young single mothers to find suitable permanent housing and to take away the stress and worry of not being able to give their child a stable home.”

– Cllr Judith Cavanagh

Groups where Homewards Lambeth can help the most

In Lambeth, 57% of households in temporary accommodation are lone-parent families. This figure includes over 5,300 children. The number of families in temporary accommodation has been growing every year, because there aren’t enough homes that people can afford.

 

 

Homewards Lambeth is focused on demonstrating that it’s possible through collaboration and prevention to end homelessness for single-parent families. They will do this through:

1

Supporting lone parents

2

Making more affordable homes available

3

Strengthening employment pathways and increasing training opportunities

4

Better data sharing, capacity, and infrastructure
