Due to the risk of Covid-19 transmission, the homeless charity is unable to use large-scale hostels to get a good night’s sleep during the Crisis Festival.
Instead – breaking with a nearly 50-year-old tradition – the charity has paid for 517 hotel rooms in four London hotels that were offered by the London Hotel Group for cheaper rates.

Crisis Christmas boss Ian Richards explained The Sunday Times: ‘Generally, we run 10 centers with 4,000 guests and 12,000 volunteers.
‘Then it came, and we really had to stop and revive the cycle from the beginning.
“It simply came to our notice then. Our first goal was to offer as much as we have always done differently. ‘
Guests will receive three hot meals a day – by room service.
A special app created by a volunteer will allow residents to be entertained over a phone. It will also tell them that health services such as a podiatrist can be used at the hotel.

Homeless charities say that even before the peak hit – many families were badly affected by the coronavirus crisis.

According to data from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), some 36,690 households were classified as homeless between January and March this year.
During the same period, 38,450 more homes were threatened with homelessness within 56 days.
More recent reports on homelessness figures have not yet been released, but the number of people on the streets is expected to increase in the fall.
In the first lockout, the UK Homeless was offered 15,000 fully funded hotel stays.
The plan was not repeated in the second round of nationwide sanctions. Instead, more funding was offered to organizations and councils.
