The first port-of-call for agencies considering merger
If an agency is facing closure, merger is very likely to be on the list of options the board and senior staff are considering. Merger may not be the only, or the best, option and the London Housing Foundation can help agencies explore all the options available. We recommend agencies contact us as early as possible and consider us the first port-of-call for London homelessness agencies considering merger.

- Priority Youth and Wayahead (Bristol)
- Kickstart and SHP
- Off the Streets and into Work and Crisis
