Broadway Homelessness and Support is a homelessness charity that was formed in April 2002 from the merger of Riverpoint and Housing Services Agency. Its vision is that every person finds and keeps a home. Broadway works directly with approximately 3,000 homeless and vulnerably housed people every year, across 15 London boroughs. The charity provides practical help, advice and training to meet the all-round mental, physical and social needs of clients. Broadway’s services include street outreach, a drop in centre, hostels, supported housing, welfare rights and money advice, independent living skills training and employment advice.
