Sophie ended up on the streets after being evicted due to spiralling rent costs, turning to alcohol to cope. And on #WorldHomelessDay we celebrate the services that helped her on the path to a brighter tomorrow for her and her son.

Lisa has been a member of our co-production panel for the past couple of years and has been central to helping to drive the partnership forward. Her story is an inspiration to others and she continues to be a champion in Greater Manchester
If you set people up to succeed, they will succeed.
Today we’re bringing together experts from Greater Manchester and Finland to talk @GMHousingFirst – the scheme that’s helped people like Lisa find a safe, secure home of their own.
Earlier she shared her story on @BBCr4today.
Great to be shortlisted in 2 categories at the UK housing awards, recognising our amazing partnership and the programme!
We are delighted to have been shortlisted in the Homelessness Project of the Year and Partnership of the Year categories at the @UKhousingawards. Good luck to everyone who has been shortlisted. See you all on November 26!

We deliver HF across Greater Manchester as a cross sector partnership, which is led by a social housing provider- so I shared with the Nat Fed how we use the newly launched fidelity framework to assure we are delivering Housing First across the region #fidelitybydesignanddelivery
🏘️Find out how Housing First's new fidelity framework helps tackle homelessness in this @natfednews blog by Emily Cole of @GMHousingFirst.
To discuss the framework with your peers, join a Homeless Link Community of Practice - see thread below.⬇️
