Over the last three years, the Women’s Rough Sleeping Census, led by Single Homeless Project and Solace, has exposed a deeply troubling reality: women experiencing homelessness are routinely overlooked, undercounted, and underserved. The latest findings from the September 2024 census are stark – there are over ten times more women sleeping rough in England than official government data suggests.

Join us for the national launch of ‘How Do We Sleep at Night?’, the powerful new report authored by researchers at Change Grow Live and Crisis. With a foreword by Paula Barker MP, co-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Ending Homelessness, this report is a call to action for policymakers, service providers, funders, and advocates.

At this event, you will:
Hear key findings from the 2024 census that reveal the true scale and nature of women’s rough sleeping.
Learn how local authorities are already using census insights to reshape services and funding for women.
Discover how you can take part in the September 2025 census and champion our national manifesto for change.
Watch a powerful short film featuring the voices of women who took part in the 2024 census.

Chaired by Francesca Albanese, executive director of policy and social change at Crisis, this event brings together expert speakers and change-makers from across the sector.

If you believe that ending homelessness must include – and prioritise – women’s experiences, this event is for you.
