You might also try a web search for "Foyer" links.
This is I think originally French concept now quite
widespread in UK too and seemingly targetted more at
runaways and other young people needing to move away
from family home. Usually providing training etc (as
Big Issue themselves do).
Don't see anything in Big Issue links relating to
this movement.
I think the Big Issue is part of a transnational
association of homeless people's papers?
