We're committed to sharing the learning from our programme, in order to support commissioners and practitioners alike to improve the way services for people facing multiple disadvantage are designed and delivered. 

Gender-Informed 

• Report | FLIC and the University of York launched research into women’s hidden homelessness (December 2021).

• Film | FLIC’s female clients share their experiences of homelessness and gender-based violence. 
• Guide | FLIC and Standing Together created practical guidance (December 2021) for client- facing teams - Working Effectively with Perpetrators and Survivors of Domestic Abuse in Homelessness Settings.

Co-Production
