Homewards - Newport

“There are many factors that contribute to women facing homelessness, we believe that if someone is experiencing domestic and or sexual violence, to leave that abuse, puts them at risk of experiencing homelessness, and that could happen at any point, we also know that women are less visibly homeless.”

– Jo Parry, Director of Support Services, Cyfannol Women’s Aid

Groups where Homewards Newport can help the most

In Newport, the cost of living, high rents, and lack of homes that people can afford means the number of people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness is continuing to rise.

Groups the Coalition have identified as most in need of support include families, with greater numbers currently staying in temporary accommodation, and women facing multiple disadvantages.

Homewards Newport plans to lay new groundwork – and make a lasting impact – in six specific ways

1

Supporting women experiencing multiple disadvantages

2

Supporting families at risk of, and experiencing, homelessness and poverty

3

Encouraging services to focus on prevention as early as possible

4

Providing holistic, trauma-informed support

5

Strengthening access to employment 

6

Making more affordable homes available
