Businesses: take action

Supporting homeless people back into work helps businesses find talent where they least expect it. It also helps businesses develop the talents of their existing workforce through a range of volunteering opportunities. Companies supporting Business Action on Homelessness report increased staff loyalty and enhanced reputation as a result of being involved in this worthwhile programme.
