Business Action on Homelessness


Government missing a trick on making work pay

Business Action on Homelessness welcomes Government proposals to reform housing benefit but they don't go far enough. To make sure work really pays for homeless people, more radical change is needed.

Business Action on Homelessness supports homeless people to gain and sustain employment and actively campaigns for the removal of barriers to work. We believe that work is the best route out of homelessness and poverty and that businesses often overlook the talents of people with a homeless background.
