Research forum

Homeless Link chairs and coordinates a Homelessness Research Forum which aims to improve the quality, co-ordination, relevance and impact of research in the homelessness sector. The Forum is open to members of Homeless Link and meets on a quarterly basis.

Members share information on their proposed and ongoing research to improve sectoral collaboration. The ESRC is funding research on multiple exclusion and homelessness launched in June 2008, the proposal for which came from the Research Forum. £680,000 is being spent on four projects, which will give an overview of the challenges facing service provision for people with multiple exclusion issues. Details of this work can be found on the Multiple Exclusion research page.

RESEARCH FORUM MEETINGS

The research forum meets quarterly. The next date of the forum is:

• Tuesday 16 March 2010

Membership

Forum meetings are open to all Homeless Link members with an interest in homelessness research. You do not have to conduct research to be a member. Currently there are members who are homelessness agencies, local authorities and research academics. Any Homeless Link member can sign up, but, due to space limitations, only one representative per member organisation can attend the meeting.
