Roof Over His Head - Emergency Housing Fund

The most common story we hear begins with an occupation order and ends with a holdall. The family home - often bought with his deposit, his salary, his parents' gift - becomes occupied premises he is barred from within the week, while the mortgage stays joint and the alternative accommodation costs double. Mark, 39, an electrician from Manchester, spent his first forty nights after the order in his van outside the depot, showering at the gym, going to contact handovers straight from work - because the interim hearing that would have addressed housing sat eleven weeks away. This fund bridges exactly that gap: three nights in a partner hostel or a safe house plus a contribution to the first month's deposit on a room, so the man keeps his job, his licence and his contact schedule while the slow machinery grinds. Each £10 entry funds one hostel night in full. Tonight's target: sixty nights - a month of roofs for men who currently have a car seat. At the session we map the housing timeline every newly separated father should know, hear from a landlord on our partner list who takes our referrals when others refuse, and open the housing board - sixty beds, one per ten entries, lit as they fund. He lost the house. He must not lose the roof.
