Inn from the Cold

This means 80 percent of renters were closer than ever to being unable to afford their place. This year, we noticed an increase in people reaching out for support because of rental costs. In 2022/23 18% of the families we served were reaching out for support because of rental costs. In 2023/24 it raised to 20%.
