The London Housing Foundation produced the first Atlas of Services for Homeless People in London - a survey of services in London - in 2008 to increase knowledge and understanding about the homelessness sector.
Now in its third edition, the Atlas is a vital resource to support London’s homelessness sector
, giving details of the location of all services and which agencies provide them as well as details of key health providers and non-homeless agencies that work with a large number of homeless people.
The
third edition of the Atlas was published on 11th October 2011 and is accompanied by an
easy-to-use online map, allowing agencies and commissioners to quickly observe the concentration of rough sleepers and the services that are aimed at supporting them across London.
The publication of this third edition was delayed by six months in anticipation of mergers and contract changes following the 2010 Comprehensive Spending Review. These have started, but with no particular end in sight, we decided to publish in October rather than face a potentially indefinite delay. More on the third edition.

Help us continue to improve the accuracy of the Atlas
The Atlas
aims to give an accurate picture of the homelessness sector as it was in April 2011.
However, for a project of this kind, complete accuracy is an aspiration rather
than a reality. The third edition of the Atlas builds on the improved accuracy of the second edition but continued accuracy depends very much on the input of agencies.
Please help us make the next Atlas more accurate, firstly by ensuring we have the correct contact details at your organisation so that we can ensure the next edition is spot on:
please submit contact details. Secondly, if you spot a serious error in the 2011 entry for your agency, please
contribute your suggested changes.
