This document provides information about the charity Shelter and their work helping the homeless population in Britain. It discusses Shelter's history beginning in 1966 to address poor housing conditions. Currently, Shelter provides housing advice and legal support to millions each year. They also campaign for policy changes and funding to help the homeless. Some of Shelter's key achievements include influencing a 1977 law requiring local authorities to house the homeless. However, issues around affordable housing and homelessness still exist. Shelter continues working to help as many people as possible obtain stable housing.
