Leeds Housing Concern

Leeds Housing Concern began as a charity in the 1970s providing housing and support for single homeless people. Now a highly successful organisation, we continue to develop new, often pioneering services for people struggling to cope with a broad range of issues including learning difficulties, drug abuse and domestic violence.
