why is

this important

A humane living environment, along with support from our social workers, lawyers, and psychologists, are all essential components of recovery from the trauma and hardships of months or years spent on the streets. It is much easier for a homeless person to return to a normal life when they no longer have to worry every day about where to sleep or what to eat.

How it

works

Social workers help those in need restore their documents, obtain disability benefits, find employment and housing, reunite with relatives, secure a place in a residential care facility, and overcome addiction. Lawyers challenge fraudulent transactions and help people regain their housing. Psychologists help clients cope with the consequences of life on the streets, build self-confidence, and provide support in a safe environment.

We opened a Rehabilitation Shelter in Moscow in the spring of 2022. It houses clients of the Night Shelter who are under the care of a social worker. These are people who have found themselves in difficult circumstances. All shelter residents have different stories: some have lived on the streets for several years, others for just a few days. Some have a place to live, but it is unsafe to stay there. There is no single scenario for homelessness; every case is unique. A person stays at the shelter for as long as necessary to resolve their specific situation. Sometimes this is a few weeks, but more often it ranges from several months to six months. For example, the average length of stay for residents at the Nochlezhka Rehabilitation Shelter in St. Petersburg is 4–5 months.
