Brent CLT was honoured to be invited to the official opening of the newly refurbished Brent Crisis Skylight Building, located in the vibrant heart of Harlesden, NW10. This modernised facility marks a significant step forward in the shared effort to support people experiencing homelessness in the borough.

The Brent Crisis Skylight Building represents a renewed commitment to providing essential services and personalised support to the Brent community. Crisis has been operating in the area since 2016 and, more broadly, delivering vital services across London for over five decades. Their holistic approach includes tailored advice, accredited learning opportunities, and one-to-one coaching that guides individuals out of homelessness and towards long-term, stable housing. In the past year alone, more than 1,500 people in Brent have accessed these life-changing services.

The reopening of the Brent Crisis Skylight Building gave attendees a chance to celebrate progress made and to reflect on the journey still ahead. It served as a timely reminder that ending homelessness requires sustained collaboration, innovation, and a shared sense of purpose across organisations.

For Brent CLT, the event was also an excellent platform to connect with local partners and raise awareness about our own mission—developing community-led housing that is affordable, sustainable, and truly rooted in local needs. We were able to exchange ideas, share updates about the Brent CLT project, and explore new opportunities for cooperation.

Looking Ahead Together

The event underlined how much has already been achieved—and how much more is possible when we work together. We look forward to ongoing collaboration with Crisis and all our partners to build a Brent where everyone has a safe place to call home.
