Homeless Link

We want a country free from homelessness, where everyone has a place to call home and can expect the support they need to keep it.

Homeless Link has a programme to invest in charities and social enterprises across England working to reduce homelessness.

The programme is the first of its kind exclusively for the sector. The aim of the fund is to test and learn where social investment can be most effectively used alongside other forms of funding to improve outcomes.

We are looking to support organisations to:

  • increase the sector's knowledge and experience of social investment;
  • develop new models for income generation and funding; and
  • improve long-term sustainability.
