Reflecting on 25 years of Homeless Link, our CEO Rick Henderson notes: “There’s a lot to be proud of, but also some entrenched systems failures that make ending homelessness harder.” #UnderOneRoof

Just about to get started at the #UnderOneRoof conference. Great buzz in the room already as huge range of expertise gathered here connects.

We welcome the Renters' Rights Act as it comes into force today 👏 This is a big win for campaigners, who have worked hard for years to secure reform of a rental system that too often directly drives homelessness. A huge thank you to everyone who have been part of making change happen.

Hope is a core value for anyone working to end or prevent homelessness. That's why Homeless Link is proud to back #AMillionActsOfHope campaign. And support our members to do the same. Let us know if you're getting involved! homeless.org.uk/news/homeles...

Great to be at @homelesslink.bsky.social rough sleeping conference yesterday. Talking about the need for a asylum move-on process which prevents, rather than causes, destitution, and hearing about the brilliant work @mustardtreemcr.bsky.social are doing in Manchester.

Huge amount of expertise in the room to turn the tide on record levels of rough sleeping as our conference begins today Thanks to everyone for joining: look forward to learning from each other today

From Wednesday's Parliament debate on children rough sleeping. Shameful that in 2026, this needs to be discussed. But heartening to hear MPs praise charities supporting all people facing the danger of rough sleeping. Thanks @bayoalaba.bsky.social & all others hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2026...

Such an important campaign for our members: pleased to join @praxisprojects.bsky.social at Parliament today to highlight how these proposed immigration reforms risk driving up migrant homelessness and rough sleeping.
