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, 25% of the population live in poverty. One in five households experiences overcrowding (10.56%), living in a shared dwelling (0.39%), and/or lacking central heating (2.61%).

Groups in need of support include single mothers staying in temporary accommodation, who make up most of those people living in temporary accommodation in the borough.

 

 

Homewards Lambeth plans to lay new groundwork – and make a lasting impact – in four specific ways

1

Supporting single mothers in temporary accommodation

2

Making more affordable homes available

3

Strengthening employment pathways and increasing training opportunities

4

Better data sharing, capacity, and infrastructure
