Supporting people in the Roma community sleeping rough in London with partners across the sector.
The Roma Rough Sleeping Team’s aim is to ensure no-one from the Roma community has to sleep rough in London.

Our team is passionate about supporting the Roma community. Some of us are Roma ourselves and have experienced some of the same challenges that our clients face on a day-to-day basis. All the team have the in-depth understanding of Roma culture that is required to help them leave homelessness behind for good. The team is funded by the GLA and DLUHC and delivered in collaboration with The Passage.
Over the course of the project we will be sharing resources that will help you provide better quality and culturally competent support to the Roma Community.
It is really important all our clients are supported to understand how the EU Settled Status Scheme works and what this means for their rights and entitlements. This can be challenging for some Roma individuals who struggle to read and right.

Our role is to support individuals to navigate these services where needed, so they can end their homelessness.
The need to provide culturally appropriate, access to SWEP provision to individuals from the Roma Community was discussed at the Pan London Roma Operational Group.
