Building on the influential Using Evidence to End Homelessness (Bristol University Press, 2020), this practical collection shows how evidence and data can drive smarter action to improve outcomes for people affected by homelessness. Six years on, it captures lessons learned and progress made while charting a path for greater impact. With new contributions from leaders including Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, Sir Michael Barber and Rosanne Haggerty, it highlights innovative approaches transforming housing, health, education, media, sport and the arts.

Through case studies, collaborative models, and policy tools, it equips practitioners, policymakers, funders and community leaders to act more effectively. The book is an essential resource for all those working to end homelessness.
