The Independent Living Programme provides young people with a home to call their own. It is our solution to breaking the cycle of young homelessness for good.
Centrepoint’s Independent Living Programme helps young people move on from homelessness into safe, affordable homes of their own. Rent is capped at one-third of income, giving them stability to work, save, and prepare for permanent housing.
We are creating 300 Independent Living homes across London and Manchester. 50 homes are already delivered, with many more in development. To reach our goal, we are raising £50 million - and your support makes this possible.
Why your support matters
Independent Living is only possible thanks to generous supporters. Your donation helps us:
- Develop new homes for young people
- Provide guidance to help young people sustain employment
- Create affordable housing where it’s most needed
Every donation helps a young person move from homelessness to a safe, stable home.

Each Independent Living studio costs around £150,000 to develop and will support many young people over its lifetime. Significant donations help unlock new Independent Living developments. If you would like to discuss making a major contribution, please contact our team.
