Seven churches from across Reading have opened their doors to the homeless. Case study: "I was in rented accommodation, the landlord wanted their property back...I wasn't proactive and I didn't make the right moves to get into another accommodation before it got as worse as it did. "I was sofa surfing at certain friends houses. "I resigned from my job and I didn't have a planning process, and I just became street homeless."
