Homelessness can happen to anyone. Together, we can prevent it.
The Passage helps people before, during and after homelessness, providing practical support, advice and innovative services like No Night Out – that stop rough sleeping before it begins.
Please give what you can, and help someone on their journey towards safety and stability.

Our vision is of a society where homelessness no longer exists and everyone has a place to call home.
We work in Westminster – where the number of people sleeping rough is at its highest in the UK.
We support people who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness through accommodation, healthcare, employment support and
long-term recovery services.
Stopping homelessness before it starts.
Most homelessness services help people after they have slept rough. No Night Out does something different.
The service identifies people who are at immediate risk of sleeping rough and provides rapid support to help them find a safe alternative. By acting early, we can prevent the trauma, danger and long-term impact of rough sleeping before it begins.
Since launching, No Night Out has prevented over 476 people from sleeping rough for the first time, with 94% remaining safely off the streets.
How we help.
Homelessness looks different for everyone. That’s why our services support people at every stage of their journey.
Preventing homelessness
As featured in the Mayor of London’s Rough sleeping plan, our No Night Out service helps people into emergency accommodation, preventing them from a night on the streets.
Providing immediate support
We offer advice, practical support and access to services for people who are experiencing, or at immediate risk of homelessness in London.
Building brighter futures
We help people to access housing, employment opportunities, wellbeing support and community connections so people can move on from homelessness for good.
“I am not a homeless person. I am a person currently experiencing homelessness.”
Behind every statistic is a person. Behind every story is a person who deserves a safe and stable place to call home.
By listening, supporting and working alongside the people we help, we enable them to move beyond homelessness and rebuild hope for the future.
Homelessness cannot wait.
The Passage welcomes the Government’s commitment to ending homelessness, but now is the time to turn ambition into action. We are calling on national and local leaders to focus on three priorities that will deliver lasting change.
Investing in what works
The Government needs to invest in services and schemes that have clear evidence of tangible and lasting outcomes, that can be scaled up across the country.
Leadership and accountability
Leaders must work together with charities, communities and people with lived experience to deliver lasting change.
A commitment to social housing
Without increasing the supply of affordable homes, homelessness will continue to force people into a place of uncertainty.
Innovating homelessness services.
Rough sleeping is the most visible and dangerous form of homelessness. But many people struggle long before they reach the streets – and too often, support only becomes available once they are already in crisis.
PATH (Prevention, Advice and Transformation Hub) is The Passage’s new service designed to change that. Working in partnership with Westminster City Council, PATH brings different homelessness services together into one simple, joined‑up system; helping people to get the right support as early as possible.
