About Us

Welcome to Homeless Network Scotland

We are a charity in Scotland with a vision where homelessness is prevented and everyone has a safe and settled home.

Our Mission: Connect, Learn and Act on Homelessness

As Scotland’s national membership network, we connect people and organisations to share insight, influence decisions, challenge inequality and drive evidence-based change – so everyone has a safe and settled home.

Our Change Priorities: to achieve our vision, we prioritise four major shifts that will transform how homelessness is resolved:

1. From Crisis Response to Prevention
2. From Temporary to Settled
3. From Service-Led to Person-Led
4. From Siloed to Joined Up

For each change priority, we aim to make an impact in four focused ways:

1. Shaping stronger policy positions
2. Influencing fairer resource allocation
3. Improving practices and services
4. Reframing the narrative around homelessness

We drive change through four key levers:

1. Influencing policy and plans with evidence and insight
2. Providing platforms for people who’ve been through homelessness
3. Building and strengthening cross-sector partnerships and alliances
4. Convening networks, events and learning spaces
