Porchlight provides support and accommodation projects to single homeless people and people at risk of becoming homeless.

Recent development in the housing sector means that we are also involved in trying to prevent homelessness. We help people maintain tenancies, but we also contribute to the health, vitality and stability of whole communities.

Kent Outreach Service
This service works across Kent helping people sleeping on the streets to access emergency accommodation and incorporates our Street Population Workers and Private Landlord Liaison Service.

Homelessness Prevention
We work to prevent homelessness through our floating support service. This service works with people in their own homes who are vulnerable to homelessness. We also have a Youth Homelessness Education Programme which works to prevent the next generation from becoming homeless or in housing need.

Young Person’s Services
We have specialist services for 16-21 yr olds who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. There are 2 hostels in Canterbury providing supported accommodation to this age group. We also have a specialist mental health worker for young people.

Community Support
We offer practical and accessible support to residents in Thanet through a Community Outreach and Support Service and a service in partnership with NHS Eastern and Coastal Kent.

Building Skills
Throughout all our services we encourage our service users to become involved in the wider activities of the charity. We provide training to our service users to increase their knowledge and skills to enable them to contribute, participate and gain employment.
