Streetscapes is changing Cape Town by turning old cityowned houses into affordable, green homes filled with hope and support. They don’t just offer shelter—they bring people together, using mentors who understand the struggles of homelessness to guide others toward a better life. Their work gives many a chance to feel safe, valued, and part of a caring community. In Cape Town’s busy streets, Streetscapes is planting seeds of change, showing that a true home can heal and inspire.
As winter’s chill grips Cape Town, the city steps up with a caring plan to help its most vulnerable people. Through the Winter Readiness Programme, shelters receive warm blankets, food, and hygiene packs, while extra staff are hired to keep services running smoothly. This effort is more than just protection from the cold—it’s a promise of hope, dignity, and new chances. By bringing together city resources, nonprofits, and everyday citizens, Cape Town creates a strong web of support that reminds everyone they are not alone during the toughest season.
