Housing First England

Housing First England aims to:

• Identify and produce practical solutions to the barriers to implementing Housing First at scale.
• Create the optimum political and operational foundations for a national roll-out of Housing First.
• Support organisations to create and develop excellent Housing First services in line with the Principles for Housing First in England.
• To grow the evidence for the efficacy of Housing First across a range of housing markets, commissioning arrangements and sectors.
• To promote Housing First as one of a wider range of housing led solutions that can help to end homelessness.

In 2019, Homeless Link was joined by Crisis to deliver the current stage of the project.
