And we are off...! this week I start interviewing practitioners who have been part of the 9 previous homelessness and palliative care Communities of Practice that have run across England, to understand what was good, but also what could be better. Very exciting! @brionyhudson.bsky.social

The numbers don't add up. Homelessness is rising, yet we’re still losing more social homes than we’re building. The Govt wants to build 1.5m homes👏 That must include funding in the spending review to cover building 90,000 social homes annually. www.crisis.org.uk/about-us/cri...

Stats released by the government today show that rough sleeping is soaring across England. Our full response: crisis.org.uk/about-us/cri... A thread 🧵[1/8]

I am interviewing facilitators & attendees of the 9 Homelessness & Palliative Care Community of Practice programmes that ran from 2022-2024, as part of a realist evaluation. Is that you? Get in touch! [email protected] @brionyhudson.bsky.social @mariecurieuk.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk

And to be honest cooling centres which they ultimately cancelled. #toronto

Ethnic minority households are at the sharp end of Britain's housing crisis. How significant are ethnic inequalities in housing affordability?

Speaking at our event last week, @camronaref.bsky.social showed that some minority groups are heavily over-represented in the homeless population. Catch-up now ➡️ buff.ly/4gopukT
