GMHAN Focus Area- The Criminal Justice System

The GMHAN brings people together across Greater Manchester to work towards a shared goal of tackling homelessness. This is a big and complex challenge, so our work is broken down into different ‘sprints’, which will explore one topic at a time across all the task groups and within our network events. As a network we will come together on these topics to push forward this work for a quarter, before moving on to the next network focus.

We know that the criminal justice system can often be directly linked to homelessness, creating further barriers to accessing housing or support. There has been a lot of progress to tackle these barriers across Greater Manchester, so we want to highlight this good work while also identifying areas for further change.
