CRASH is the construction and property industries’ charity for homeless people.

We are a practical charity addressing the issues of homelessness by harnessing the skills, products and goodwill of the building industry to improve hostels, day centres, night shelters, training centres and move-on accommodation, for frontline homelessness agencies who work directly with homeless people.

CRASH is a UK registered charity (no. 1054107) and operates throughout the UK.
