Get connected with the Centre and other people working in the homelessness sector as we build and mobilise a learning culture that values evidence. By joining our communities, learning networks, and campaigns, we can help you to use evidence and data to achieve breakthrough results.
Get in touch with us to find out more about how we can help you and your organisation with bespoke one-to-one guidance for specific local housing and homelessness challenges, based on the best available evidence.


The What Works Community works with people working in the homelessness sector to tackle their toughest homelessness challenges by using robust evidence and data more effectively, providing expert support in evidence-based practice, human-centred design, and data-informed decision making.
Do you have personal experience of homelessness? Experts by experience play an important role in our work, from assessing and contributing to individual research projects, workshops, reports and events to shaping future priorities. We want to work with a diverse range of people from across the United Kingdom who have experience of a variety of different forms of homelessness.


Brought together by the Centre in partnership with the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, the Office for National Statistics, and Public Health England, our learning network is a space where people doing, using, or funding research can share their findings to improve responses to homelessness.
