Our Services
We’ve developed three unique solutions to forge a sustainable movement that opens new pathways for those experiencing homelessness. By addressing different facets of the crisis—from immediate shelter to accessible transitional spaces and streamlined emergency housing—we’re creating a comprehensive support network that meets people where they are.
Our goal is simple yet profound: to provide safe, dignified options that empower individuals on their journey to stability, ultimately reshaping how homelessness is tackled in the UK. Through our combined services, we’re turning the vision of ending homelessness into a practical, achievable reality.
Instant Book Temporary Accomodation
MicroNest Booking
With over 320,000 people experiencing homelessness in the UK and council resources stretched to their limits, there has never been a greater need for a streamlined, affordable housing solution. MicroNest was born from the realization that there are thousands of unoccupied rooms every night in cities like London—rooms that could be used to house those in crisis. By creating a real-time, data-driven platform, MicroNest enables local councils to instantly book short-term rentals for people in urgent need of shelter. It’s not only a technical innovation but a reimagining of what emergency housing can be: quick, safe, and profoundly responsive to real-time needs.
The platform’s design ensures that councils can access underused rooms without delays, enabling immediate placement for those in crisis. With built-in safeguarding protocols and real-time data integration, MicroNest creates a secure, responsive system that goes beyond the limitations of traditional housing options. It’s designed for speed and efficiency, allowing councils to bypass paperwork, waiting lists, and overburdened shelters. MicroNest fills a crucial gap by making underutilized spaces available to those who need them most, offering not just a temporary roof, but a sanctuary in times of need.
What makes MicroNest especially powerful is its commitment to scalability and social impact. By working with local councils, we’re able to support people across boroughs and cities, expanding as the need grows. Our solution is designed to operate seamlessly, so it doesn’t just respond to the housing crisis but actively works to ease the strain on public resources and improve outcomes for individuals facing homelessness. MicroNest isn’t just a platform; it’s a movement that’s transforming how we respond to homelessness, one immediate, secure booking at a time.
Affordable Private Pods
Komo Pods
Created for people caught in the gap between housing accessibility and affordability—those who don’t qualify for immediate assistance due to savings, employment, or simply not meeting priority criteria. These are individuals who may have a job or some savings but still can’t find stable, affordable housing. They’re left to navigate a difficult system that often doesn’t see them as a priority, even though they’re at risk of homelessness. This is where Komo Pods steps in, offering a fresh, dynamic approach to transitional housing that’s both accessible and affordable. With starting rates as low as £36 per night, Komo Pods offers a self-contained, private living space that includes showers, secure lockers, and other essentials. It's more than just a place to sleep; it’s a dignified environment where people can reset and rebuild.
By providing multiple locations, Komo Pods aims to make short-term, accessible housing available throughout high-demand areas, allowing individuals to live in proximity to work, friends, and support networks without breaking the bank. Each pod is designed with security and privacy in mind, creating a personal space that allows guests to reclaim their sense of self and stability. We understand the reality of hostel-to-hostel living and the need for an affordable yet private space where people can catch their breath and plan their next steps. Our goal with Komo Pods is simple: to offer a dignified, practical solution to transitional housing in the UK. We’re not just providing a bed; we’re providing a base, a space that empowers individuals to regain control over their journey.
Supportive Shelter when it's needed most
StopOver Foundation Registered Charity 1078770
When people are at their most vulnerable, they need not only a safe place to stay but a supportive environment that respects their dignity and well-being. StopOver was created as a registered charity with the singular purpose of providing such an environment for individuals in crisis. Offering self-contained living spaces in a safe, screened setting, StopOver is more than just a shelter; it’s a place where individuals can experience calm, rest, and renewal in the midst of turmoil. With a focus on core essentials—calm, sleep, and hydration—StopOver provides a holistic approach to emergency accommodation, recognizing that the journey to stability begins with the basic comforts and respect every person deserves.
Our 36-room facility in Hackney is designed specifically for this purpose, ensuring that every room meets rigorous safety and accessibility standards. By partnering with social services and community organizations, StopOver creates a seamless support network for residents, connecting them with the resources they need to rebuild and recover. Each room is self-contained, offering a private space that allows guests to regain a sense of security and autonomy, often for the first time in weeks or even months. Our screening process ensures that we create a safe environment for everyone, prioritizing not only physical safety but emotional support.
StopOver is built on a sustainable model that reinvests in its community, making it possible to extend its reach and offer more spaces to those who need them most. By focusing on both immediate needs and long-term impact, StopOver plays a crucial role in the larger mission of ending homelessness in the UK. We believe in the power of safe, dignified spaces to transform lives, and every guest we serve brings us closer to a future where no one is left without a place to call home.
