WELCOME TO PATHWAYS FROM HOMELESSNESS 2025

Welcome to the live stream of the Pathways from Homelessness 2025 Symposium.
Our theme this year, from the margins to the mainstream, pathways to prevent homelessness reflects the strength of our collective knowledge that can be applied in so many mainstream areas in housing and health.
We know what to do to tackle the complex causes and needs of homelessness, how to make care better and how to best support people to improve their lives even when they have experienced the most profound exclusions but are not yet on the streets.
But it also reflects our deep frustrations: that specialist services remain marginalised in so many parts of the country; that wider forces in society continue to push people to the margins as hard as we work to include and bring people in; and that mainstream health, housing and social care services could learn so much more from our work.
While NHS finances feel like they have never been tighter and local authorities across the country are gradually facing bankrupcy by temporary accommodation costs, we know that clever Government officials are busy on the Secretary of State’s new Ten Year Plan for the NHS.
What we can propose and implement:
• Commit to radical funding reform and reallocation, so that commissioners really can target extra resources on people and groups with the highest needs for prevention and recovery.
• Lead the system to routinely include the most marginalised in the design and delivery of services, because we know it is the best way to create things that work for people and prevent the revolving door of homelessness.
• Challenge the NHS to genuinely work beyond its boundaries – connecting with local government and housing providers, creating services that catch people when they fall or, better, before they fall, support people for the long term and, connecting back to the health service’s founding principles, leads the way in changing how our society treats the most marginalised and vulnerable who now include 160,000 children in temporary accommodation.
At this year’s Pathways health and housing specialist conference we will hear about destitution among asylum seekers, the awful risks and harms experienced by women and children stuck in homelessness and how violence blights so many people’s lives when they are forced to survive on extreme margins of society.
At the same time, and as every year, our programme gives us much to be hopeful about. We have a series of papers about how services can best respond to women’s specific needs, how to really listen to women’s voices, and how, in so many areas, understanding the psychology of trauma needs to underpin what we do.
We have evidence of what works in addiction, new thinking about how to challenge stigma and structural exclusion, both how to find and the crucial value to the system, of including hidden or missing patients – in primary care and in hospital – and what we can and should practically do now: to improve diabetes management, to act on (mal)nutrition and much more. And, of course, across the programme we have peer and lived experience voices and perspectives to listen to and inform change.

We constantly monitor the live stream on multiple devices in a variety of locations to ensure it’s quality. If there is a problem with the stream we will let viewers know immediately in the chat box. If you are experiencing problems viewing the stream and there is no announcement in the chat, the likelihood is that the issue is local rather than general. Here are the most common issues viewers encounter:
Browser: Please do not try to watch this stream using internet explorer. Internet explorer does not support live streaming, we recommend using Google Chrome (PC) or Safari (Mac) as your browser to view this live stream and participate in the chat.
Internet speed: The most common issue viewers face is a weak or unreliable WiFi/Broadband signal. As a first point of action simply pause the live stream video for 10 seconds and then press play again. This will allow the video to catch up with itself. If your signal is really weak and dropping out the video will keep freezing or buffering. Check your internet connection using Which Broadband Speed Test. A download speed of 3mbps or higher should mean you are able to play the video. In the worst case scenario try sending the link to this page to your mobile phone and disconnecting your phone from WiFi. If your phone has a good 3G or 4G signal, you should be able to play the video.
Firewalls: If you are attempting to watch this live stream on a device provided by your hospital/employer there may be a built in firewall that blocks live streaming video. This is especially common with devices provided by healthcare organisations. If this is the case please try using your own personal laptop/tablet/phone.
Other wifi users: If you are viewing this live stream from home and other members of your household are also using the WiFi to download files, watch live streaming TV such as Netflix or play online games, this may put undue stress on your WiFi and effect the quality of your stream.
Cloud Services: Live streaming video does not function in many cloud services. Come out of your employer’s Cloud/IT system and open this in an external browser.
Memory: If your device is struggling for memory space the live stream will not play correctly. Reduce the number of other windows and tabs you have open and shut down all unnecessary programmes other than the ones you need to watch this stream.
Battery: Make sure your device is plugged in or has plenty of battery!
