We are the membership body for frontline homelessness services. We work to improve services through research, guidance and learning, and campaign for policy change that will ensure everyone has a place to call home and the support they need to keep it.
A huge thanks to the 100+ organisations working to end homelessness who joined us at Parliament yesterday.
Energising to see our members push politicians for meaningful change, and to hear politicians acknowledge the vital role of the voluntary sector in ending homelessness

Homelessness is designed into the asylum system. This must change: with @homelesslink.bsky.social, we are campaigning for a system which ends homelessness for all. www.itv.com/news/2026-02...
NEWS: 2025 Rough Sleeping Snapshot figures released today are the highest on record.
These are atrocious figures. And behind those figures are thousands of lives severely damaged by the trauma and dangers of rough sleeping.

On 11th March, we’re turning up to Parliament in the Mass Lobby for Migrant Rights.
Along with migrant and refugee groups, unions, and faith groups we’re going to call on as many MPs as possible to oppose the Government’s earned settlement plans.

More evidence that a truly effective cross-government approach to homelessness needs to include more action from the Home Office.
With @naccomnetwork.bsky.social we're campaigning for an asylum system that prevents - rather than causes - homelessness

Government's National Plan to End Homelessness released this morning.
Positive to see some #BreakingTheCycle campaign asks included, such as cross-departmental accountability & prevention focus.
But questions remain on funding & implementation.
More to come!

Our immediate reaction to yesterday's Budget 👇
Welcome progress on some of our long-term campaign asks, but some major missed opportunities.
Our attention now turns to the Homelessness Strategy. And the Chancellor's needs to as well - details below

Opportunity needs to be taken to involve health and social care services in addressing needs of people experiencing homelessness

"Unfreezing the allowance would undoubtedly make rents more affordable and have a significant impact on the number of people facing homelessness."
Our Head of Policy Sophie Boobis quoted on speculation LHA rates may be unfrozen in next week's Budget

Great to join this powerful @crisis-uk.bsky.social message to the Chancellor yesterday.
Our members know low Local Housing Allowance rates are driving the record levels of homelessness we are seeing right now. Next week's budget is a chance to start turning the tide.
Homeless Link is joining YMCA England & Wales, @stmungos.bsky.social , @crisis-uk.bsky.social, BHT Sussex, @centrepointuk.bsky.social & New Horizon Youth Centre to ask the Chancellor to #MakeWorkPay for people in supported housing.
See our joint briefing: centrepoint.org.uk/research-rep...
Such an important topic. Thanks very much for sharing your team's insight and joining today @pathwayuk.bsky.social
“It’s all about getting those services in place to help the client.”
Great insights from spearlondon.bsky.social on how using lived experience expertise in the health outreach work improved outcomes.
Brilliant to have the team here @homelesslink.bsky.social #Health & #Homelessness conference
Such a wide range of expertise gathered for the Homeless Link Health and Homelessness Conference. Looking forward to a day exploring all aspects of the complex relationship between homelessness and health issues. #Health #Homelessness

Our Head of Policy and Research, Sophie Boobis for @insidehousing.bsky.social, on how true cross-government working is key in breaking the cycle of crisis driving rising homelessness.
With a new Homelessness Strategy in development, and lots of action in Parliament in the next few weeks, there's never been a better time to speak up about the value of homelessness services

We’re proud to have joined with over 40 organisations including campaigners for tenants, homelessness and debt advice charities, landlord organisations and others in calling on the UK government to unfreeze local housing allowance at the upcoming budget.

This #WorldHomelessnessDay we've been hand delivering letters to Ministers crafting the new Homelessness Strategy.
A reminder that will take a real cross-government effort to reverse record levels of homelessness & start building a country free from homelessness.

The health system has real potential to address the huge health inequalities that arise from and can cause homelessness. New best practice guidance with @pathwayuk.bsky.social & @itsgroundswell.bsky.social demonstrates what can be achieved
homeless.org.uk/news/reducin...
We're proud to @healthequals.bsky.social #MakeHealthEqual campaign: health inequalities are a huge driver of homelessness and homelessness can be hugely detrimental to health.
We'll be exploring these issues at our upcoming Health and Homelessness conference 👇
