Climate change is driving #homelessness. Yet, our report finds that homelessness is absent from global development agendas. That's why we're calling for homelessness to be integrated into #climate strategies. Read our report at int.depaulcharity.org/policies/on-...

Embedding #homelessness into gender-based violence (GBV) and prevention response efforts is vital to addressing homelessness. To strengthen response efforts to GBV, there should be investment in safe housing and access to justice for survivors experiencing homelessness.

Having a stable job can help people to sustain their tenancies. That's why, in partnership with the Vincentian Foundation, the Onward Home Livelihood Centre in Metro Manila has opened. At the centre, people can be connected to employment opportunities.

Why global spending on homelessness must rise
Homelessness is a growing global problem but international development spending is tiny. That must change as climate change intensifies.
