STREETSCAPES

TACKLING THE ISSUE OF HOMELESSNESS

Streetscapes, a Khulisa’s flagship programme, provides a model for sustainable urban regeneration and addresses the neglected needs of this very vulnerable population. Departing from typical emergency relief type of services for the homeless, Streetscapes is structured to address their multi-dimensional needs. The ten project sites combined supported employment, psychosocial support and a ‘housing first’ type of accommodation.
