Our influencing work

Homeless Link is a powerful force for change.  Our influence reaches from the daily experiences of people touched by homelessness to the development of national strategy. 

the independent voice of the sector

As the national organisation representing almost 500 frontline agencies, we act as the independent voice of the sector on influential bodies such as:

The Connecting Force between government and the sector

Our influence has grown in the past 7 years as we have drawn upon the experience of our members to produce evidence-based models of intervention that have been proven and tested. 

The Move On Plans Protocol (MOPP) that we piloted across England, with the backing of CLG, is just one example of how we not only provide policy makers with the analysis, but also help the sector to put theory into practice. 

It is this pivotal role as the connecting force between government, frontline agencies and other organisations that work to end homelessness, which makes us unique.
