The purpose of World Homeless Day is to draw attention to the needs of people who experience homelessness locally, and to provide opportunities for the community to get involved in responding to homelessness.

The campaign aims to educate people about homeless issues, celebrate and support good practice happening locally, and highlight local issues.

To mark this day, HLP has updated its Homeless Health resource pack to help raise awareness around the links between homelessness and health. Also to signpost to the services and providers which help to support people experiencing homelessness in London.

Further information can also be found in our World Homeless Day toolkit on homeless health.

Colleagues are encouraged to share these resources and use the hashtag #WorldHomelessDay to get involved and help spread awareness.
