Homelessness – the ‘hidden’ rural crisis

03 July 2023

To kick off Rural Housing Week 2023, we hosted a webinar on the 'hidden' homelessness crisis in rural areas.

Understanding the extent of homelessness in rural areas, and the impact this is having on communities and services.
Exploring the collaboration between rural housing associations, homelessness charities and other key stakeholders to support those in need in their communities.
Recommendations for future homelessness and rough sleeping strategies – how to ensure support is tailored to rural needs.
