Homeless Link is the national membership charity for organisations working directly with people who become homeless in England. We work to make services better and campaign for policy change that will help end homelessness. Our vision is a country free from homelessness. We believe that everyone should have a place to call home and the support they need to keep it. Our Mission is to develop, inspire, support and sustain a movement of organisations working together to achieve positive futures for people who are homeless or vulnerably housed.

We believe everyone should have the right to open and close their own front door and feel safe and secure in their own accommodation. Through our Housing First England project, we drive the scaling up of high-fidelity Housing First as a solution to end homelessness for people facing multiple disadvantage.

‘Homeless Link’s Housing First England project supports a national movement of Housing First services across the country, producing best practice guidance and research.
