The London Homelessness Awards are very grateful for the generosity of our sponsors and partners

Sponsors & Partners

London Housing Foundation

The LHF’s primary aim is to reduce street homelessness amongst single people. We do this by supporting the work of agencies that provide services to single homeless people or to those who are in imminent danger of homelessness.

We do not directly provide any services ourselves to homeless people but we run programmes and provide grants to help those that do.

Mayor of London

The Mayor of London is firmly committed to tackling rough sleeping in the capital. He works closely with boroughs, Government and charities. He has established the ‘No Nights Sleeping Rough’ taskforce, which brings together key partners to identify and pursue ways of preventing and addressing rough sleeping. He also invests £8.4 million a year in pan-London services for rough sleepers, intended to complement those commissioned by boroughs, in line with his Commissioning Framework. Framework’s overarching priorities are to work with boroughs and partners:

  1. to minimise the flow of new rough sleepers on to the streets
  2. to ensure that no-one new to the streets sleeps rough for a second night
  3. to ensure that no-one lives on the streets of London
  4. to ensure that no-one returns to the streets of London.

London Housing Directors’ Group

London Councils works closely with boroughs and other stakeholders on planning and housing issues in London, sharing information, promoting best practice, influencing policies and informing public debate. We convene a regular meeting of London borough housing directors concerning housing strategy and commissioning, housing partnerships and development, homelessness and housing needs.

Crisis

Crisis is a national charity for single homeless people. Crisis is dedicated to ending homelessness by delivering life-changing services relating to education, employment, housing and well-being services to address individual needs and help people to transform their lives.

Crisis aims to:

  • do more for more homeless people in more places across the UK and help to change their lives for good
  • change the way society thinks and acts towards homeless people

Shelter

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through advice, support and legal service.

Shelter’s goal is to help more people in housing need than ever before by:

  • supporting more families
  • increasing the capacity of Shelter’s website and helpline
  • creating new integrated advice and support hubs in areas where there is the most need
  • putting the housing crisis back on the national agenda
