Synopsis

Homewards’ aim is to demonstrate that it’s possible to make homelessness rare, brief and unrepeated. This session will focus on the work Homewards is leading to use data and technology to spot people at risk of homelessness and intervene to prevent the crisis before it happens.

Join us to hear about:

  • Homelessness in the UK and the work Homewards is doing to prevent it
  • The work of the Homelessness Data Lab, launched in June at London Tech Week
  • How BCS and its members can get involved and support this work.
