Landlords for homelessness charity to compete with Shelter and Crisis?

Well, that got your attention didn’t it!

But is it such a crazy idea? What if landlords got together and started a charity that helped the same people that Shelter and Crisis claim to. Fundraise the same way, from the public.

But a charity that underwrites rent and deposits for those that we wouldn’t normally consider. Those that have ended up on the street through no fault of their own, the ex-service person, the unemployed, the homeless with nobody to turn to.

Help those already in our properties that hit hard times, help them get the financial support they need, so they can pay us.

But instead of being aggressive towards landlords, working with them, covering the shortfalls until benefits kick in. Having advisors on hand to solve and push through their benefit claims issues.

Go on, discuss!

Please can I be diversity and inclusion officer - I would only want 50k per year.

With £14,000,000 in Shelters reserve bank account surely they should be doing this and not landlord bashing at every opportunity.

But what a great idea.

The NRLA should suggest this to the government

I think it is a wonderful idea - how do you suggest we start?

You don't want the government involved because it will waste money and not solve anything.

It can very easily done because if you are incorporated you can donate to "our charity" and pay less tax.

Can Shelter donate some of their £14m to the new charity? Just asking.

A homeless charity that provides accommodation for people will never catch on.
