Resident stories

Behind every door, there’s a story.

Our residents’ stories are at the heart of this campaign. Every story is different, but they all begin with the same foundation: a place to call home.

At Local Space, we provide high-quality settled homes for as long as its needed for our residents. We know that safe and secure housing provides a foundation for a happy and healthy life and we play a part in ensuring that there is one less family in unsuitable, unstable temporary accommodation.

Meet our residents

Meet Hasan

Hasan moved to London in 2016 to study and work as a social worker, supporting young people and helping others through challenging periods of their lives. But everything changed when he had to move into temporary accommodation.

Finding a settled home with Local Space was life changing for Hasan. It became the foundation for his recovery.
