About Spear Housing Association Limited

SPEAR exists to enable homeless people in South and West London find secure accommodation. We develop and deliver solutions with community partners. We believe that homelessness isn't just a housing problem, it has a range of causes and is often an experience of isolation, hopelessness or self-doubt. That's why, beyond a roof overhead, we promote community involvement and personal development.
