That’s how long families have to wait for a council home on average
This is Brighton’s hidden homeless. Because homelessness isn’t just about the absence of a roof. It’s childhoods disrupted, health deteriorating, and futures slipping away.
We can change this, together.
What’s the problem?
Brighton & Hove has one of the highest homelessness rates in the country. Families are stuck in unsuitable temporary housing for years, harming children’s health, education, and sense of belonging.
What’s the solution?
Unlocking small, underused council-owned sites to create high-quality social housing: turning overlooked spaces into permanent, secure homes for families who need them most.
How can you help?
Join our mailing list, share the campaign, and help us show Brighton that small spaces can restore belonging for families in need.
Meet the girl behind the mission
Meet Scarlett – a 15-year-old activist who believes no child should spend their childhood in temporary accommodation. Busking since the age of 8, she’s raised over £10,000 for homelessness causes and is now leading Mission: HOME to make sure families in Brighton & Hove have a safe place to call home.
