Enforcement and begging

Three case studies help to illustrate innovative ways to overcome the challenges of securing appropriate housing for Housing First.

Homeless Link's annual survey of homelessness sector support tracks changes in the nature and availability of services, the support needs and circumstances of the people accessing services, and opportunities and challenges for the sector.

This framework contains two self-reflection tools designed to support fidelity to the principles of Housing First in England.

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.

New research into the long-term impacts of Housing First across health, mental health, offending behaviour, substance use and beyond.

With a general election looming in 2024, we have published our manifesto to end homelessness. Drawn from from our unique position as the membership body for over 800 homelessness organisations across England. It builds on work with our members, on engagement with specialists and experts and on the rich body of evidence on what works to end homelessness, outlining our core ambitions of the next government.
