Key facts

 

 

Every year, we help over 1,000 people in Southend who are rough sleeping, sofa surfing or at risk of losing their home. The challenges that people experience are complex and ever-changing. At HARP, we will always be there for people in our community when they fall on hard times.

The best way for us to explain what HARP does, the challenges people face, and the ways homeless people can make real changes to their lives to get back on their feet, is by telling the stories of some of the people we've worked with.
