Our Mission and Impact
We exist to see an end to homelessness for good
Our mission is to act as a catalyst for evidence-led change to enable people working in and around homelessness to achieve breakthrough results
How we do it
A more informed ecosystem
We break down barriers to evidence and data, empowering decision-makers with the knowledge they need to shift resources towards effective prevention strategies.
A more strategic and joined-up response
We act as a catalyst for collaboration, fostering a unified movement for change across sectors and levels of government to implement coordinated prevention efforts.
A more experimental approach
We champion a culture of innovation and learning, rigorously testing and scaling up promising prevention models to achieve lasting impact.
Why we do it
Our goal is to create a society where any experience of homelessness is prevented whenever possible and, where it cannot be prevented, it is a rare, brief and non-recurring experience.
To guide our efforts and track our progress towards this goal, we developed the SHARE outcomes framework. It provides a birds-eye view of what’s needed to prevent homelessness.
Ending homelessness for good is within our reach
To break the cycle of homelessness, we need to start with the end goal in mind. Our path to get there is clearly laid out in our strategy.
Read our strategy“By focusing on What Works, the Centre for Homelessness Impact is paving the way for organisations in the field of homelessness and beyond to make evidence-led decisions.
Their commitment to helping generate new evidence and then supporting it to be applied in practice means that policymakers, practitioners and commissioners everywhere can improve their outcomes on an ongoing basis.”
