Home
Single Homeless Project (SHP) is a charity working with men and women who are homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless.
Our mission is to reduce poverty, social exclusion and homelessness and to make a lasting improvement to the quality of life of our service users.
SHP’s service users are aged between 16 and 65 years plus. 50% are women and 60% come from black, minority ethnic background and refugee communities.
SHP supports people with a range of needs (often multiple), including mental health, drug and/or alcohol dependency, entrenched rough sleeper lifestyle, ill health, disability, offending history and poor life-skills.
Our services are based in nine London boroughs – Brent, Camden, Hackney, Islington, Lambeth, Newham, Waltham Forest, Wandsworth and Westminster.
