Casa Ioana is Bucharest’s leading charity for homeless families. Our services run day and night, every day of the year to help homeless people have the opportunities to improve their quality of life.

We support homeless people in their journey back inside from social exclusion by opening the door to safe temporary housing and a wide range of support services. Casa Ioana provides more help for homeless people in gaining life skills than any other charity – from getting back to work through to independent living skills.

Preventing homelessness is also very important to us. Our temporary accommodation provides safe accommodation for 90 vulnerable people and our staff-team has worked with thousands of people at risk – including the vast majority who have lived on the street.

The range and quality of services provided by our ACASĂ Programme are unique, as are the needs of those we exist to assist.

“In all my experience, I have never yet met a homeless person who has told me that he or she has adopted this way of life. I have met many though, who have told me that they have no opportunities to change and have adapted to living on the streets.”

Ian Tilling, M.B.E. – President of Casa Ioana
