Designing Out Homelessness: Practical Steps for Business is a toolkit created by Business in the Community, giving employers information on how to prevent, offer help and create pathways out of homelessness.

Homelessness, visible and invisible, is rising across the UK. It takes many forms, from families living in temporary accommodation to couples and individuals sleeping on friends’ sofas, in hostels or on the streets.

This toolkit was developed by Business in the Community in collaboration with the West Midlands Homelessness Taskforce – a group of businesses, local government, and the community sector convened by Andy Street, Mayor of the West Midlands – to tackle the issue.
