Cost: £100
Council for the Homeless NI (CHNI)
The theme of this year’s conference examines how we can extend evidence-based housing-led solutions to meet housing need, and tackle homelessness across Northern Ireland. A range of speakers from across Ireland and the UK have been invited to share their experience and expertise in the design, application and evaluation of housing led models, particularly Housing First. This represents an opportunity to explore these models and their relevance to future homelessness service design.
