In Manchester, we work with people who are living in Unsupported Temporary Accommodation such as B&Bs, hostels and houses of multiple occupation (houses rented by at least 3 people who are not from the same household), and prison leavers who have been referred to us by Manchester City Council.
People can access our health, housing and wellbeing support through appointments at the Justlife Centre, or through our outreach sessions at temporary accommodation properties. Our support usually involves helping people:
They are a lifesaver, simple as. I was in trouble. Rents built up, they helped me with my benefits. When it comes to mental health, the suicidal thoughts went away…There are other subtle things. You tend to drink less because you have this routine in your life.

The support provided by Justlife kept me sane because I'm able to keep my head above water.
