WHAT STOPGAP DOES
StopGap works with voluntary sector partner agencies, such as Framework, (Sheffield's Rough Sleeper Team), to pay for bed and breakfast accommodation one night at a time. This allows both the client and the agency a small breathing space to seek out other housing solutions.
From May 2023-May 2024, we piloted a project whereby through our partner agencies, we place people newly at risk of rough sleeping in appropriate hotel accommodation. The pilot has been constantly reviewed, and we have decided that this scheme is no longer a pilot as there is very much still a need for StopGap, and we will continue to place people in hotel accommodation who are deemed to be at risk of rough sleeping.
SPONSOR A ROOM
Can you help someone who is rough sleeping or in danger of rough sleeping?
Local agencies working with homeless and vulnerable people, contact us to help arrange accommodation for approximately 2-3 nights to allow the referring agency time to work with them to address their longer term housing needs.
Our work helps. It provides a moment of security and helps people to get back on their feet.
The typical cost of a hotel room is between approximately £45-£60 per night, and many of the people are placed for a total of 3 nights.
