The Homelessness Monitor

The research provides up-to-date evidence for policymakers, charities, and housing organisations, ensuring that the fight against homelessness remains responsive to evolving challenges.

This project has become a key resource for policymakers and charities, providing actionable data that supports the development of evidence-based strategies to reduce homelessness. I-SPHERE researchers work closely with stakeholders to ensure that the findings influence both national and local-level homelessness interventions.

The聽Institute for Social Policy, Housing, Equalities Research ()聽is renowned for its interdisciplinary research on poverty, housing, and social inequality.
