The UN report calls for governments to "institutionalize regular data collection on #homelessness using harmonized indicators that reflect the lived experiences and intersecting exclusions of affected populations". #WorldHomelessDay

We encourage you to strengthen your efforts to: clearly define and measure homelessness; center lived expertise of homelessness at every level of work; and coordinate services and programs across sectors. #WorldHomelessDay

The recent UN report on Homelessness discusses the absence of a global definition of #homelessness and reliable data as major barriers to ending homelessness. Thus, people with lived expertise and practitioners across sectors continue to work towards solutions to homelessness.
