Rapid Response Housing
Emergency shelter
Shelter is fundamental to the well-being of individuals and families, offering safety, warmth and protection.
Whilst many of us in the UK take this for granted, thousands go without this basic human need being met.
We partner with local councils, charities and corporations to address some of the UK’s major social issues including homelessness; refugee displacement; and domestic violence.

Rapid Response Housing in action
The Rapid Response Housing initiative started life in Australia, providing emergency shelter following natural disasters.
This letter from Rotary Australia details the joint efforts between Rapid Response Housing, Rotary and RAWCS to provide effective flood relief and emergency housing to local residents affected by the horrific floods of 2022 in Lismore.
Despite extensive efforts, the ongoing effects of these floods are still present today, with families displaced and houses in disrepair.
