2014 was an extremely challenging year, as the numbers of people experiencing homelessness and housing instability continued to grow at a shocking rate. At Simon, our key focus is to work with people as they are, based on where they have come from and where they would like to go to. We give back choice and control, two things that are quickly lost when someone looses their home. At the time of writing, over 5,000 men, women and children are trapped in the uncertainty of emergency accommodation; this is unacceptable.
