Street Homeless Project(SHP)
Street Homeless Project (SHP) is a UK-based initiative established in 2008 to help homeless people in England, Scotland, and Wales. The project’s primary goal is to work with councils and other organisations to provide housing and support to people who are sleeping rough or at risk of becoming homeless.
The project is tailored specifically to meet the needs of those who are sleeping rough and is designed to provide short-term emergency accommodation, as well as longer-term supported housing. SHP also works to support individuals in accessing the services they need to help them with their housing situation and other life challenges.
The project’s scope is wide-ranging and includes providing advice and support on housing, health and social care, benefits, education and employment. It also provides practical assistance such as providing sleeping bags and other emergency provisions, and helping people access services such as mental health support, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, debt counselling and more.
