mungos.orgAbout St Mungo Community Housing Association
St Mungo Community Housing Association, widely known as St Mungo's, is a registered charity and housing association established in 1969 to end homelessness and support vulnerable people. Originally focused on street homelessness in London, it now operates across England, with a strong presence in London and southern regions. Guided by values of compassion, inclusion, accountability, and evidence-based impact, St Mungo's integrates the lived experiences of staff and volunteers who have faced homelessness. Its approach combines direct service provision, systemic advocacy, and social enterprises such as Real Lettings, which creates private rented housing for those excluded from mainstream options. The charity prioritises a continuum of homelessness services, including emergency and supported accommodation, Housing First for complex needs, mental health and substance recovery support, and employment and skills programmes such as construction training and horticultural initiatives like Putting Down Roots.
