One of the challenges in accelerating global progress to prevent/end #homelessness is the lack of reliable and comprehensive data. This gap was spotlighted in the 2025 United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Report on Homelessness here: docs.un.org/en/A/80/316. #WorldHomelessDay

Experiential knowledge of what works/doesn’t work is invaluable but is rarely centered in the work to prevent/end #homelessness. Here are resources about equitable partnership with people with lived experience of homelessness: bit.ly/4mXwvMM. #WorldHomelessDay

The NGO Working Group to End Homelessness (WGEH) continues to advocate for #WorldHomelessDay to be adopted as an official United Nations observance day. International observances significantly increase awareness of major societal issues and encourage action towards solutions across regions.

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.

El reporte pone en evidencia una realidad contundente: el sinhogarismo es impulsado por inequidades estructurales, estigmas y barreras sistémicas. Poner fin a la falta de vivienda, por tanto, no es solo una prioridad social: es un elemento central para lograr objetivos de desarrollo más amplios.

Ending #homelessness is not just a social priority. It is central to broader global development objectives. Rising homelessness affects the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, undermining progress across multiple goals, including poverty reduction, health, education, sustainable cities, etc.

The report highlights IGH’s work to prevent/end homelessness spotlighting cities in our Vanguard Program, shares data from the Global Homelessness Data Map; and
underscores a stark reality: #homelessness is driven by structural inequities, stigma, and systemic barriers.

The Trump U.S. administration's recent executive order to address #homelessness by expanding policing; prioritizing funding for states that criminalize homelessness; and cutting life-saving programs — reinforces harmful narratives about homelessness and #mentalhealth and threatens progress. (1/3)
