What we are doing
Homeless Link and our members support and deliver many solutions to rough sleeping. We engage regularly with MPs and Ministers to make the case for better approaches to tackling rough sleeping and for more resources. It was proved during the COVID pandemic that it is possible to find safe places for everyone to sleep. Rick Henderson, CEO of Homeless Link is a member of the Government's Rough Sleeping Advisory Panel and the Kerslake Commission.
