“If we don’t have a workforce that feels valued for the work they do, we will get no where with the aim to end homelessness”
Clare speaks on the need to create a valued and resilient workforce in the sector, including focusing on raising the profile of the work they do.
Onto our first session ‘A vision for the homelessness and housing support workforce’ with Clare Budden 🏡
Clare is currently the chair or the Workforce Task and Finish Group, working with Welsh Government to shape a sustainable future for the homelessness workforce in Wales

Clare touches on efforts to increase recognition for the homelessness and housing support workforce, including championing for a budget which reflects the needs of the sector.
