Cities Ending Homelessness Conference, Seoul 25 Sept 2024
Join us in a constructive discussion about how to end global homelessness.
Cities Ending Homelessness is an initiative with an ambitious aim - to bring together policy makers, social innovators, those with lived experience and academics from across sectors to discuss how to end homelessness. We know the issues, what we need are concrete solutions. By sharing existing initiatives from across the world, we want cities to explore how these ideas could be applied and adapted to their city’s specific context and needs.
Cities are where homelessness is most concentrated and where the greatest challenges arise - whether social, financial or political. Cities are where real-world innovations will be formed.
There is no single reason for homelessness, there is no single solution, and no single city has all the answers – that’s why we need to work together.
