The Research Network is brought together by the Centre for Homelessness Impact in partnerships with The Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government, the Office for National Statistics and Public Health England. This international initiative was set up in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak, to help ensure that we were learning as fast as possible across countries, and create new connections and relationships.
It’s early days, but the Network is creating a space where people doing, using, or funding research share actionable research to improve responses to homelessness. If you think you may have something to contribute, just get in touch.
Chris Martin, The University of New South Wales
