Climate change is driving #homelessness.

Yet, our report finds that homelessness is absent from global development agendas.

That's why we're calling for homelessness to be integrated into #climate strategies.

Embedding #homelessness into gender-based violence (GBV) and prevention response efforts is vital to addressing homelessness.

To strengthen response efforts to GBV, there should be investment in safe housing and access to justice for survivors experiencing homelessness.

Having a stable job can help people to sustain their tenancies.

That's why, in partnership with the Vincentian Foundation, the Onward Home Livelihood Centre in Metro Manila has opened.

At the centre, people can be connected to employment opportunities.

In Ukraine, the war continues to drive #homelessness.

In response, Depaul Ukraine is leading the way in delivering programmes that prevent and address programmes.

Why global spending on homelessness must rise Homelessness is a growing global problem but international development spending is tiny. That must change as climate change intensifies.

Our new report finds that tackling homelessness improves #climateresilience, #health and #education outcomes.

Our Group CEO Matthew Carter OBE writes in the Big Issue that integrating homelessness into development agendas would be transformative👇

Text reads: 'integrating homelessness into development responses can: strengthen climate resilience, investing in climate-resilient housing can reduce homelessness caused by extreme weather events, minimise carbon emissions and save lives; improve health outcomes, stable housing improves physical and mental health outcomes, lowers premature mortality and prevents the spread of infectious diseases; improve educational outcomes, integrating housing into education responses will improve education performance and pathways to employment, breaking cycles of intergenerational poverty.'

A global agenda to solve #homelessness would improve climate resilience, health and education outcomes.

Yet our new research published today finds that homelessness is absent from international development agendas.

At the Depaul Group, we know that lack of access to affordable, suitable housing both causes and sustains #homelessness.

That's why we're in the European Parliament today, hosting a seminar 'Building an EU Strategy to Eliminate Homelessness' with Depaul Ireland and Aodhán Ó Riordáin MEP.

Image shows a group of people. Text reads: "Homelessness is one of the crudest manifestations of poverty, discrimination and inequality. Ending homelessness will help to create a more inclusive society."

To create a more inclusive society, we must end homelessness.
Measuring homelessness is vital to ending it. That’s why we’re asking nations to prioritise ending homelessness through better data collection.

The full-scale invasion in Ukraine has led to a rise in homelessness.

That's why Depaul Ukraine brought together government officials and international #homelessness experts at a roundtable event which explored social housing as a tool to end homelessness.

Image shows a man stood on a house reaching for a laptop. Text reads 'providing stable housing enables people to access employment and education, helping to break the cycle of poverty.'

We can only end poverty if we end #homelessness.

That’s why it’s crucial that nations commit to measuring and ending homelessness. Join our call at ighomelessness.org/vincentian-f...
