#Homelessness is devastating, isolating and dangerous. Please take 5 mins to respond to @hantsconnect future services consultation. https://t.co/LynUet65L2
Hi all, please take a look at this. Key #homelessness services at real risk here. Will impact many hundreds of people across Hants plus in neighbouring areas. Impact also on #NHS & #SocialCare Take a few moments to read & feedback. Thanks.
A reminder for #WorldHomelessDay that homelessness goes far beyond what you can see on the streets. @Shelter and @IKEA have used their #LabourConference23 exhibition stall to show the unacceptable conditions many people face in temporary accommodation.
To contextualise the underspend, ยฃ1.9bn would get you around:
19,000 socially rented homes
633 high rises with dangerous cladding remediated
3,800 social housing blocks retrofitted with sprinklers

Huge shout out for @HIOW_ICS strengthening it's approach to come alongside local communities working together to increase health and wellbeing in local neighbourhoods with support from @CormacRussell#heartsandminds#home@KeepWellCollab
@BBCWorld@RishiSunak Unless this plan comes with a fundamental rethink on the affordability of housing for key workers then a solution focused on training and apprenticeships will simply perpetuate the problem.
We believe that by working together it is possible to make homelessness rare, brief and unrepeated. Because whatever 'home' means to you, we believe that in a modern and progressive society, everyone should have a safe and secure home to call their own. 2/2
Brilliant work @OSTCharity Super proud to be alongside you 'minding every gap' - supporting people to lead independent, flourishing lives @HIOW_ICS@navig8pat @JonP_SHFT @KensingtonRoyal
๐งตA&E staff are in a great position to help people experiencing homelessness, acting as a gateway to other services & a chance to break the cycle. Donโt miss this @rcni article by Pathway's Sam Dorney-Smith talking about a new, free E-Learning on the topic https://t.co/exij6iLksr
Recently had time with @HIOW_ICS hospital, primary care & data teams to reduce #homelessness inequalities - this week building more cross-sector collab, reducing impact of insecure #housing c/o โMinding Every Gapโ - agencies reducing impact for people leaving #prison@collinscsl
4/4 v much hope the project can hold a candid mirror to barriers as well as enablers to change: many of the latter come from those well outside the NHS. More details of the collaboration here

3/4 what is exciting is that nobody leading an ICSs wants to mired in terms of reference or strategising: this is impactful #populationhealth instead.
Some constructive intolerance is needed of the status quo, and the honesty to stand alongside those with lived experience.
