Homelessness Health Needs Assessment

The Homelessness Health Needs Assessment (HHNA) details research, findings and stakeholder engagement related to homelessness and health in the borough. It also outlines recommendations for stakeholders and service providers to consider in the context of identified gaps and needs. The majority of research and engagement was carried out in 2022 and the report was finalised in 2023.

Homelessness is a complex problem and, in all its forms, has been increasing over a number of years nationally. The direct and indirect health impacts of homelessness are far-reaching, with people who experience homelessness being more likely to be subject to existing health inequalities and higher rates of mortality.
