Care partners
Together we build the bridge to a home
Room for Change connects hotels with the social organisations that know this group best. If you work with people who are economically homeless, we offer the breathing space they need so no one waits for housing on the street, in shelters or on a friend’s couch.
The role you play
You know the people. We open the rooms.
We work with local care partners in several large cities. Room for Change arranges the hotel rooms. We work closely with fixed contact people and keep the lines short.
You guide
Your team supports the participant during their three-to-six-month stay towards durable housing and, if wanted, work.
We connect & arrange
We bring the hotels, keep a single point of contact and handle the partnership around your work.
Together towards the next home
Within three to six months a participant moves on to (semi-)permanent housing. That is why we usually only place someone once a next step after the stay is in sight.
Why a hotel stay works
Catching people early changes everything
People without a home often live in survival mode, day after day. Without rest and safety, the risk of sliding further is high. A safe hotel room, combined with professional guidance, creates room to look ahead again. The earlier we catch people, the better the chance of lasting recovery.
