From crisis response to early intervention
The government’s new national drive to end long-term rough sleeping has raised the stakes for local authorities, with additional funding, immediate action ahead of winter and a clear focus on earlier intervention, prevention and coordinated local delivery. For housing options and homelessness teams, the challenge now is turning ambition into measurable progress.
Join MRI Software for a focused webinar exploring what this policy shift means in practice — and how housing options and homelessness teams can strengthen rough sleeping pathways, improve visibility and support better outcomes for people in their communities.
