The Importance of Data in Addressing Housing Justice: Six Key Reasons

Alison Gelder, Chief Executive of Housing Justice, emphasizes the critical role of data in tackling homelessness and food insecurity. Through statistics from the London winter of 2012/2013, we see the impact of community efforts, showcasing 23 night shelters, 44,312 bed nights, and the placement of 689 individuals into accommodation. Data aids in measuring impact, fundraising, influencing policy, and understanding volunteer dynamics.
