2026 – Q1

During the first quarter of 2026, Kingston Churches Action on Homelessness (KCAH) continued to deliver vital interventions for single adults facing housing crises across Kingston upon Thames. Our frontline data highlights a sustained demand for complex mental health support alongside significant successes in securing long-term tenancy stability.

Through these integrated services, KCAH ensures that vulnerable individuals not only receive immediate sanctuary but also the continuous, structured support required to rebuild their lives.
