Homelessness?

The ARCH Resettlement Centre, Glasgow, Scotland introduces to the world, homelessness as experienced by people living and working in the most deprived communities of Glasgow and the West of Scotland.

Your host, Brian Reid, who is the manager of a commisioned supported accommodation project in the heart of Glasgow, will guide you through the myriad of heartbreaking tales and stories as told by people with lived experience. Brian, along with a dedicated staff team, work with and support men, from many different backgrounds and social settings, who all have one thing in common; they have been or are currently experiencing homeless; they have nowhere to call a home or a place of their own.

How does this come about in a first world country in the 21st Century? What can be done to change this; what can be done to help those who are in need of a home? Why do people become homeless? What are the causes of homelessness and can these be eradicated? What is homelessness?

Join us each week in discussing the causes, the harmful effects, the choices (good/bad), the attitudes (good/bad), the solutions to ending the scourge of homelessness and to also rejoice in the positive stories and outcomes of the men who have been successful in breaking the cycle.
