CHI session: Fri 13th Nov 14:00-15:00
Ending Homelessness with Evidence in light of COVID-19
Join us for this unique session curated by the Centre for Homelessness Impact.
Evidence played a considerable role in efforts to minimise the potentially catastrophic impact of Covid-19 transmission and infection among people experiencing homelessness during the eruption of the pandemic. To take these efforts to another level we must challenge our assumptions about what we do and do not know when it comes to addressing homelessness. The answers to these questions have the potential to drive a truly transformational research agenda - one that will help us end homelessness for good.
With the coronavirus pandemic still deepening around us, in this session by the Centre for Homelessness Impact, you will have the opportunity to hear about their assessment of recent developments, some of their recent work, and explore what else needs to happen to improve how we use data and evidence to end homelessness sustainably in the UK.
