Stonewall Housing

Stonewall Housing is the only housing association and charity wholly dedicated to
serving people of all ages within the LGBTQ+ communities with a portfolio of some
supported accommodation, the majority of our services comprise advice and
advocacy services for anyone LGBTQ+ who is homeless or at risk of homelessness
and specific support for those with severe and enduring mental health diagnoses and
those fleeing domestic abuse.

We are fighting to end LGBTQ+ homelessness and ensure that everyone has a safe
and secure home. In 2022-23 Stonewall Housing worked directly with over 2400
people and we estimate that since we were founded we have worked with more than
40,000 LGBTQ+ people.

 
Stonewall Housing aims to double the number of people we provide support to
by March 2030. This requires the organisation to secure additional, sustainable
income year on year through new projects, training and consultancy and fundraising
income.

Stonewall Housing is the leading charity in the UK for LGBTQ+ people of all ages
who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Stonewall Housing was established in 1983 as the first Housing Association aimed
exclusively at meeting the needs of LGBTQ+ people, in response to a growing
number of young people experiencing homelessness and insecure housing.

Stonewall Housing is proud to be a fully Trans and Non-binary inclusive organisation
and always aims to understand the different but interconnected needs of all LGBTQ+
communities.

Stonewall Housing is grounded in grass roots activism, anti-discrimination, inclusion
and equality. Everything we have done is about making sure LGBTQ+ people are
afforded their basic human right to be housed in safe accommodation where they
can live authentically and free from fear.

The housing association was founded by a group of LGBTQ+ people who could see
the inequalities our communities were facing and were determined to do something
about it. To this day, a large proportion (although not all) of our staff, trustees and
volunteers are LGBTQ+. We must make sure that everything we do furthers their
legacy, building a better, more inclusive world.
