About Homeless Link

Homeless Link is the national membership organisation for frontline homelessness agencies in England. Our mission is to be a catalyst that will help to bring an end to homelessness.


Our two goals are:

  • To raise standards in the services that support homeless people and tackle homelessness
  • To influence the development of policy, strategy and investment at all levels of government

Homeless Link's member organisations provide services through: hostels, day centres, outreach and resettlement agencies, housing advice centres, youth projects, health projects, welfare rights groups, regional and sub-regional homelessness networks, refuges, drug and alcohol services and church groups.


We work in close collaboration with our members, partners and with national, regional and local government:

  • to combat the causes of homelessness
  • to provide high quality and innovative services to help people move on to settled accommodation and
  • to work to reduce the risk of new people falling into homelessness.

Our supporters include: Communities and Local Government; Department of Health; Learning and Skills Council; London Councils; Bridge House Trust; Big Lottery Fund; Crash; Esmee Fairbairn Foundation; European Social Fund; Help the Aged; Housing Associations' Charitable Trust; Joseph Rowntree Foundation; Laings; London Housing Foundation; the Tudor Trust; Unity Trust; Virgin Direct and The Vodafone UK Foundation.
