New blog now live: MP shares r**e experience and calls for an end to stigma

Over the weekend, MP Josh Newbury did something incredibly brave.
He spoke publicly about being r**ed after a night out nearly a decade ago and challenged the silence, shame, and stigma that still surround male victims of sexual assault.

Male victimisation rarely makes headlines, and that is exactly why this matters.
His honesty will help others feel less alone, even if it encourages just one man to speak out.

We’ve written about why his speech is so important — and why support for male victims must be taken seriously.

Homelessness isn’t just about losing a roof.
It’s losing safety, routine, connection, and the confidence to move forward.

At First People Housing, we help men rebuild those pieces — starting with a stable room, a warm bed, and support that doesn’t disappear once the door is closed.

Many of the men we welcome arrive with nothing but exhaustion. They leave with a fresh start, new skills, and a future that finally feels possible.

Stability changes everything. And every safe room is a step away from homelessness, and a step towards hope.

Men’s mental health has been in crisis for years, and for the first time, the government has finally launched a dedicated strategy to tackle it.

Our latest blog breaks down what this actually means, why it matters, and the reality behind the statistics — from su***de rates to addiction, stigma, and the way men are raised to stay silent.

If you care about the wellbeing of men in your life, this one’s worth a read.

Behind every move-in there’s a story you’ll never see.

A man choosing a safer space.
A room that gives him structure and calm.
A support worker helping him move forward.

This is where new chapters start.
Quietly. Steadily. Safely.

Not every step forward happens inside a room.
Some of the biggest steps happen when a man is trusted with real responsibility.

At First People Housing, several of our residents are now supporting the Hideout Collective’s refurbishment of the Jonge Jan, a historic Dutch barge being transformed into a unique Airbnb escape.

By working on this project, our clients gain:
• Practical skills and hands-on experience
• Confidence and routine
• A sense of belonging and purpose
• A pathway toward independence and employment

This is what second chances look like — not just stability, but opportunity.
And not just a roof, but a reason to rebuild.

Not every man arrives ready to rebuild.
But every man deserves the chance to feel safe, supported and steady again.

A stable room, a warm bed, and someone who genuinely cares.

That’s where new beginnings start.

Stability isn’t glamorous.
It’s hot meals, clean sheets, a door that locks, and someone checking in to make sure you’re alright.

This is the kind of support that helps men rebuild — quietly, consistently, and with dignity.

If you know someone who needs that kind of foundation, we’re here.

Even on the bleakest days, a safe home changes everything.

The weather might be miserable as Storm Claudia sweeps across the UK, but behind our doors the real work continues:
supporting men who need stability, safety, and a chance to rebuild.

Every conversation, every check-in, every set of keys handed over — that is hope in action.

Storms come and go.
What stays is the security of having a roof over your head, a warm room and someone who won’t give up on you.

If you or someone you know needs support across Hertfordshire, Harrow or North London, we are here.
Always.

Parliament has passed the Renters’ Rights Bill, marking the most significant shift in tenant protections in a generation.

For organisations working to prevent homelessness, this change is especially important. The end of Section 21 “no-fault” evictions and stronger safeguards against unfair rent rises could reduce one of the most common triggers pushing people into crisis.

The Bill is not a complete solution. Implementation will be phased, enforcement will depend on council resourcing, and broader support needs remain. However, it represents genuine progress and opens the door to more stable tenancies and earlier intervention.

Our latest blog explores what the legislation means for homelessness prevention, housing quality, and the sector as a whole.

Not every success story comes with balloons or headlines.
