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.
