It’s not always easy to know how to help when someone is facing homelessness. Across the West Midlands, more than 300 organisations are working every day to prevent people from losing their homes, to support those who are already without one, and to make sure no one has to experience homelessness again.

Their work follows the spirit of the West Midlands Combined Authority’s Positive Pathway model, which focuses on steady, practical steps that guide people from early prevention through to long-term stability. Each organisation plays a vital role: some provide meals or emergency accommodation, while others focus on longer-term support such as training, health care, or help finding a stable home. By strengthening prevention work and supporting people early, we can reduce the number of individuals reaching crisis point where even the basics are missing.

Many of these groups depend on the kindness and involvement of local people to keep their work going. There are simple, meaningful ways to make a difference: donating essential items, volunteering your time, or helping to fund services and projects that change lives.

Street Support West Midlands makes it easier to find out how. The platform connects communities and organisations, helping people to give and find help in ways that truly meet local needs.
