"Being consistent and going at a person’s own pace is so important in outreach work – it’s not about forcing a person to make changes, it’s about being there when they are ready." From our National Homelessness Skills Framework, this 'day in the life' account from an outreach worker demonstrates what the role may look like in practice. If you are working in or thinking of joining the homelessness sector, the framework enables you to learn more about the range of frontline roles: https://lnkd.in/eG6jDyPY

Yesterday on World Homeless Day I was in Leicestershire to speak at an event organized by the Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland Homelessness Alliance. There was an amazing turnout across supported housing, outreach, health, community and faith organisations, as well as people with lived experience - all keen to share ideas about how to end homelessness. It was really inspiring to be there. You can read a blog for Homeless Link below about what World Homeless Day means for some of those services, including Falcon Support Services, The Bridge (East Midlands) and Action Homeless Leicester.

"The cost of homelessness is felt across our society, holding people back from achieving their potential and placing huge strain on wider public services. Putting in place the foundations for a stable and effective homelessness sector should, therefore, be seen as an investment and a key steppingstone for Labour’s mission driven Government, with the upcoming Autumn Budget an opportunity to show that the Government is serious about getting back on track to ending homelessness." We have written to the Chancellor Rachel Reeves, along with 75 of our member and affiliate organisations, to raise the alarm about the perilous funding cliff edge facing homelessness services come April.
