Rather than focusing on one issue or group in isolation, the day will explore how these experiences overlap, and what this means for practice, policy and support.About CHRP & Our Annual ConferenceThe Centre for Homelessness Research and Practice (CHRP) works to improve outcomes for people experiencing homelessness by bringing together evidence, frontline experience and lived experience. The annual conference provides a space to share learning, build partnerships and focus on practical change across the sector.After last year’s conference sold out, CHRP has moved to a larger venue for 2026 and released additional tickets. The programme has also been shaped by feedback, with an extra seminar stream added and the return of the popular networking hour to allow more learning and connection.Key Themes & WorkstreamsThis year’s conference explores homelessness through intersecting experiences, systems, and structures.
