Communications Strategy
A growing momentum will help Housing First to succeed, with strong communication and storytelling within and beyond the ‘homelessness’ sector. Much of the potential of Housing First relies on widespread understanding among different stakeholder groups and support for the approach and the scale of change that is needed. Our ambitious communications strategy for 2020/21 captures key communications outcomes and outputs.
(This strategy was signed off just prior to Covid in February 2020. While the outcomes and objectives remain in place, Housing First communications was folded into our overall crisis communications planning during the summer of 2020).
