In this 90-minute webinar, we hear from Centrepoint CEO Seyi Obakin OBE about the challenges and joys of leading the UK’s largest youth homelessness charity for nearly 20 years.

Following the publication of our guidance Safeguarding children and young people, this webinar will explore actions individuals and organisations can take to implement effective safeguarding practices.

People experiencing homelessness face significant healthcare challenges and significant barriers to accessing healthcare services. We have created a range of resources to ensure workers in the homelessness sector have existing skills and opportunities to talk to people around their healthcare needs.

This page gives guidance on how homelessness services can help people to register to vote. Even if people do not have a permanent address they are still entitled to register.

The Homeless Link Partnership Assessment Toolkit helps leaders from across the homelessness sector to make an assessment of their local partnership working or homelessness forum. The practical framework is accompanied by a guide.

Homeless Link’s Housing First England research programme is designed to learn directly from services about how Housing First operates in England. We are using this new evidence to continue to develop services, to strengthen the relationship between these providers and the related services working with them to support residents, and to ensure that Housing First is a viable option for all those that need it.

If you know someone who is at risk of becoming homeless this page tells you where you can get help.

Domestic abuse is a primary trigger of homelessness among women and providing an effective response should be a key priority for local authorities across England.

Local authority leads and snapshot estimate coordinators should follow this guidance in order to plan and execute their annual rough sleeping snapshot estimate, and have it verified by Homeless Link, ready for online submission to DLUHC no later than 8th December 2023.

These resources support Housing First providers and commissioners to engage the criminal justice, health, mental health, social care and substance use sectors in Housing First.

Case studies detailing approaches and actions local authorities have taken to prevent young people from rough sleeping or becoming hidden homeless.
