A survey of front-line homeless services in England
indicates that, despite funding challenges, charities are maintaining essential
support for thousands of single adults facing homelessness. The research
indicates that 4 in 10 services saw their funding decrease in 2013. Despite
this, 8 in 10 of those who had had their funding reduced reported being able to
support the same number of clients. Overall, the homeless sector also reported
improved outcomes for those they support. 34% of clients are engaged in
education or training, up from 23% in 2013. While 14% of clients were supported
into paid employment, up from 10% in 2013. Read more on the Homeless Link
