Upcoming Event
Solving homelessness through partnership
October 13, 2026
Homelessness is an urgent social problem in the UK and other countries. But solving homelessness can seem an unmanageable challenge. Homelessness is driven by complex interactions of structural factors, place-based context and individual trajectories. Prevention is more effective and less costly than crisis response, yet receives limited attention. Can private action - social entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and new forms of private capital deployment – make a difference? Hosted by the Marshall Institute in partnership with the Centre for Homelessness Impact to mark the publication of 'How to Use Evidence to End Homelessness', including a chapter by Jonathan Roberts: "Social entrepreneurship: creating social impact in the homelessness field". Join us on Tuesday 13 October from 6.30pm - 8pm.
