Support to End Homelessnesss 2025

For the past eighteen years, Homeless Link’s national study on support provided by the homelessness sector in England has provided crucial evidence to inform policy and practice.

By exploring key trends in single homelessness and the nature and availability of support, this eighteenth edition of Support to End Homelessness 2025: A review of services addressing single homelessness in England makes an important contribution to the evidence base on single homelessness provision in England. The research aims to help service providers, commissioners, policy makers, and local authorities understand and respond to the needs of people experiencing homelessness.

The findings are based on four key data sources: including a survey of 188 accommodation providers and a survey of 42 day centres from across England, data from the Homeless England database, and national government statistics. The comprehensive nature of this analysis allows us to assess not only the current state of single homelessness provision, but to identify and analyse historic trends.
