Develop, fund and
deliver services
that address
unmet needs
Historically, most of the
services we provide to people
experiencing homelessness
in London have been funded
through public expenditure.
We know, through our many
years of working with clients,
that whilst these services are
essential and address basic
needs, they don’t always
meet all the needs of
our clients.
What we will do
Services are more effective if
clients have been involved in their
design. By using our expertise and
taking a more client-informed
approach, we can improve
outcomes and break the
cycle of homelessness.
• Focus on fundraising and develop
strategic partnerships so we can
develop services and expand pilot
projects into London-wide
programmes that we know
address the unmet needs of
our clients
• Actively engage our clients
in identifying their needs and
aspirations and work together to
design services that better meet
their needs
• Continue to identify gaps in
publicly funded services for single
homeless people, and secure
funding to develop services
• Research and evaluate
innovative approaches to support
more single homeless people
