Homeless Front UK held its first annual general meeting on 11th January 2007 for the purpose of adopting a constitution and electing its officers.
The constitution we adopted is the standard one recommended by the Charity Commission for newly forming charitable associations. Our association has four objectives. In no particular order they are
― To build community with love and respect;
― To provide more housing options for rough sleepers;
― To provide a clean, safe, drug and alcohol free place or places where people who might otherwise inhabit doorways or sidewalks can have their basic needs met until such time as they are able to access permanent housing;
― To build a green, sustainable, urban village.
We are pleased with the outcome of our elections. We now have officers with Jack Tafari elected chair, Lee Walker secretary, and Karolina Stempien treasurer. We are confident in the abilities of our newly elected officers and look forward to the coming year.
The HFUK began as a company of equals. And although we now have the officers required for legal constitution, we remain a company of equals in spirit and firm in our commitment to a rigorous, grassroots democracy.
