What our clients says

  • Testimonial #3

    In early 2018 I became seriously ill, I was let go of my work due to this. I suddenly could not maintain my rent payments and was thereafter evicted. I was sick and homeless, and, if not for the kindness of friends who let me sofa surf in their homes, would be out on the streets. Last year I was put in touch with North Bridge Housing, they immediately accommodated me. With their support I have been able to focus on my failing health. I have now managed to receive lifesaving medical procedure and the future is looking brighter.

    I have been tenant of North Bridge Housing now for a few months now. They have supported me to resettle here in Birmingham and to get my benefits on track. I am hopeful that they will help me to secure permanent accommodation that will enable me to move on and settle here.
