What the PLUS Project can offer you
All PLUS Project activities are funded by London Councils, which means there is no cost to you.

Good practice events and networking forums - online while face to face events are on hold due to Covid-19
Our good practice spotlight events and forums focus on the latest policy, innovation, good practice and research in the homelessness and related sectors. They are open to London-based borough officers, frontline staff and landlords and offer fantastic networking opportunities. Details of upcoming events will be advertised in the monthly PLUS newsletter and on Homeless Link's website.
