This year's cohort brought together 21 dedicated participants, including frontline workers, Housing First managers and champions from across Europe. Throughout the programme, they strengthened their skills in training and advocacy for Housing First, while also creating a strongly supportive and closely connected community of practice. The 9-day programme wrapped up with participants presenting their projects, which they will soon implement back in their organisations and communities. This collaborative effort ensures that the impact extends far beyond these 21 changemakers: Equipped with new expertise, they are now ready to train and inspire hundreds of other professionals across Europe, expanding the reach of Housing First and contributing to systemic change in the fight against homelessness within their communities. A huge congratulations to all participants for their dedication, collaboration, and passion. We look forward to seeing you lead the way in spreading the Housing First model across Europe! 🚀 And special thanks to our amazing training team for all their guidance and support along the way!
