Who we are

Single Homeless Project began in 1975 when six homeless men in London teamed up to create change. They wanted to see an end to rough sleeping and a city where everyone has a safe place to live and the chance for a fulfilling life.


While we have grown beyond recognition since those early days, these origins continue to shape the way we work and our vision of a society where everyone has a place to call home and the chance to live a fulfilling life.

Today, we help 12,000 Londoners in crisis every year leave homelessness behind, be seen and heard, and find a place to call home.
