Having a stable job can help people to sustain their tenancies.

That's why, in partnership with the Vincentian Foundation, the Onward Home Livelihood Centre in Metro Manila has opened.

At the centre, people can be connected to employment opportunities.

Why global spending on homelessness must rise Homelessness is a growing global problem but international development spending is tiny. That must change as climate change intensifies.

Our new report finds that tackling homelessness improves #climateresilience, #health and #education outcomes.

Our Group CEO Matthew Carter OBE writes in the Big Issue that integrating homelessness into development agendas would be transformativeπŸ‘‡

Text reads: 'integrating homelessness into development responses can: strengthen climate resilience, investing in climate-resilient housing can reduce homelessness caused by extreme weather events, minimise carbon emissions and save lives; improve health outcomes, stable housing improves physical and mental health outcomes, lowers premature mortality and prevents the spread of infectious diseases; improve educational outcomes, integrating housing into education responses will improve education performance and pathways to employment, breaking cycles of intergenerational poverty.'

A global agenda to solve #homelessness would improve climate resilience, health and education outcomes.

Yet our new research published today finds that homelessness is absent from international development agendas.

There's much we can learn from Ukraine in the fight against homelessness Nick Hardwick, trustee of the London Homelessness Foundation, went to Ukraine to share information with frontline charity Depaul.

"The evidence shows that a housing-based approach is the most effective way to end homelessness."

Nicholas Hardwick, trustee of the London Homelessness Foundation, reflects on Depaul Ukraine's event about social housing as a tool to end #homelessnessπŸ‘‡

AtΒ the Depaul Group, we know that lack of access to affordable, suitable housing both causes and sustains #homelessness.

That's why we're in the European Parliament today, hosting a seminar 'Building an EU Strategy to Eliminate Homelessness' with Depaul Ireland and AodhΓ‘n Γ“ RiordΓ‘in MEP.

To create a more inclusive society, we must end homelessness.
Measuring homelessness is vital to ending it. That’s why we’re asking nations to prioritise ending homelessness through better data collection.

The full-scale invasion in Ukraine has led to a rise in homelessness.
