Shelter is a basic human need

Lifeline Harrogate work with homeless people, and those vulnerably housed often having been victims of abuse.  We currently provide supported accommodation to 21 men and 3 women in seven 3-bedroom houses within Harrogate. 

 
We housed our first residents in February 2013 and since then have housed 133 people over 44,000 nights with a 93% occupancy level. 

Our remit is to provide supported housing to those who need significant elements of care, support or supervision so we deal with the more entrenched issues that are acting as barriers to progress. Lifeline is well known in the area and referrals are constant. 

A housing officer from North Yorkshire Council recently said ‘You really do offer a unique service for people. When we visited your houses it was clear how homely you make them and the amount of support that is on offer.”
 


We are a Christian charity housing people without discrimination or favour. We are continually inspired by the scripture in the book of Isaiah which says: “My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest” (Isaiah 32:18)

So amazing to get this wonderful message and see such a great outcome with Suzanne moved on from Lifeline into such a beautiful independent property.

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart for literally saving me.
You do some amazing work and you truly are a Lifeline to many.
My life has turned full circle since Lifeline housed me and I would most definitely not be in the place I am now.
You eternally have my gratitude and I am always willing in the future to help and support Lifeline in any way I possibly can.  Suzanne"
