Seascape in Numbers
761 Seven hundred and sixty one. The number of people in South Ayrshire last year who registered themselves as homeless with the council. It is certainly an under estimate of the real problem. A lot of homelessness is hidden. The same year there were an estimated 384 concealed homeless those for example who are sofa- surfing with friends or relatives. The figure for Scotland is 34,972. https://www.gov.scot/Publications/2018/06/9554 - Table 1
0 Zero. The number of people in Ayrshire who slept rough last year. If your mental picture of homeless is a sleeping bag in a shop doorway, that figure may surprise you. Its a figure with some controversy. Seascape saw no-one in the last twelve months who met the official definition, and it is the definition that drives that controversy. Official numbers report that some 2,600 people slept rough in Scotland last year before registering homeless. It is a problem mainly of the cities. Whatever, its a small number, its not the whole picture. https://www.gov.scot/Publications/2018/06/9554 - Table 2
1 in 4 One in four. Children are involved in 1 in 4 claims for homelessness. 6,581 children were in temporary accommodation in Scotland in 2017 14,000 children were in households assessed as homeless in 2017/18 https://www.gov.scot/Publications/2018/01/8686/7 - Table 8b https://scotland.shelter.org.uk/housing_policy/key_statistics/homelessness_facts_and_research
450 Four hundred and fifty. Thats the number of clients Seascape is supporting at the current time. Over the past five years we have helped ..and we have given out 贈 in stuff. Often, clients will be followed up and given on-going support over several years. Seascape Business plan 2017-2020
1 in 5 One in Five. When you are homeless, any roof will do. Right? In fact, 1 in 5 people who are placed in accommodation are back in the homeless system a year later. It happens for a variety of reasons. Homelessness is more often a symptom of wider issues: family breakdown, domestic violence, addiction, mental health, debt. Leaving those problems unsolved means tenancies sometimes fail. Seascape will give intensive 1 on 1 support to clients, sometimes over a period of years to get them back on their feet and able to manage a home. Seascape Business plan 2017-2020
425 Four hundred and twenty five. The people we have helped into affordable homes in the past five years. 60% of South Ayrshire residents are unable to purchase a home on the open market. Across Scotland, the private rented sector has nearly doubled when the public housing has been shrinking. Young people and vulnerable groups find it hard to get into the private sector. Seascape has relationships with over 500 landlords. Our Rent Deposit Guarantee Service together with help with housing benefits and rent payments direct to landlords can help secure and maintain a tenancy.

100+ Over one hundred. Imagine you are homeless and are given the keys to a home but theres no furniture, no carpets, no curtains. What do you sit down on, how do you eat? Where do the kids sleep? Thats a major reason why tenancies fail. Seascape has helped over one hundred people since instigating our Pass it on scheme last year. Pass it On recycles your unwanted household items, anything from cupboards and chairs to crockery and utensils; everything needed to turn a roof into a home.
