Transitions pt. 2 - transitions out of homelessness with Bill Tidnam, Ben Phillips-Farmer and Ashley Horsey
Episode 6
Tuesday, 15 December, 2020
Transitions, such as those between services, localities and life stages, can cause significant disruption in some people’s lives, and can increase their risk of housing insecurity and homelessness. This episode is the second of two parts focussing on the housing challenges that arise for people experiencing periods of transition. This week, we’re looking particularly at the social injustices faced by people making the transition out of homelessness. From long term challenges like addiction and poor mental health, to difficulties securing a job or moving off benefits, to a lack of tailored options for migrants with No Recourse to Public Funds - we’ll be talking about why tackling homelessness is about more than putting a roof over someone’s head.With us to talk about these issues are Bill Tidnam, CEO of Thames Reach, and Ben Phillips-Farmer, Support and Communications Worker at Rentstart.Later on in the episode we also caught up with Commonweal CEO Ashley Horsey to hear his perspective on the Locked Out anthology and podcast findings.This episode is the last of the Locked Out series – we hope you’ve enjoyed these conversations with expert guests on the links between housing and social injustice.Resources mentioned in this episode include: The Locked Out anthology, available for free download at: commonwealhousing.org.uk/lockedoutThe Peer Landlord project, run in partnership by Thames Reach and Commonweal Housing: https://www.commonwealhousing.org.uk/projects/peer-landlordThe Freedom2Work project, run in partnership by Rentstart and Commonweal Housing: https://www.commonwealhousing.org.uk/projects/freedom2work Follow Commonweal on Twitter @CommonwealTweet and Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/commonweal-housing-limited Follow Thames Reach on Twitter @ThamesReach and Facebook at facebook.com/thames.reachFollow Rentstart on Twitter and Facebook @Rentstart.
