Resources for homelessness support professionals

Camden’s Homelessness System Programme brings together people with lived experience and organisations involved in supporting people experiencing all forms of homelessness in Camden. This 'whole system partnership' includes: 

  • services within Camden Council such as Adult Social Care, Housing, Homelessness Prevention, Domestic Abuse and Safeguarding, Libraries and community teams and Commissioning 
  • the NHS including both Primary and Secondary Care teams, Mental Health Services and nursing  
  • substance use services 
  • commissioned providers 
  • the voluntary and community sector in Camden 
  • the Justice sector 

It aims to deliver an integrated and holistic response to homelessness, so people can access the care and support they need to lead the lives they want.

Priorities

Our 5 priorities for the programme are to: 

  • put in place trauma-informed support and psychologically informed environments 
  • establish integrated multidisciplinary working around residents 
  • create conditions for more joined-up commissioning and strategic planning 
  • improve access to mental health support, including co-existing drug and alcohol needs 
  • take a preventative approach including primary and secondary prevention 

If you want to know more or to get involved in the programme, contact Rosie Clewlow [email protected].   

Tools and guides

We have co-produced several tools and guides to support the shared priorities.  

Trauma and Psychologically Informed Framework

The Trauma and Psychologically Informed Framework is a resource to support your trauma-informed practice. 

Find out more about the Trauma and Psychologically Informed Framework.

Team Around Me (TAM)

Team Around Me is a model for holding multi-agency meetings that brings together the networks around an individual to form a shared plan.  

Find out more about TAM and how to become a TAM champion.

Personal passport 

You can complete a personal passport as part of a referral or assessment. It gives the homeless person more control over how they are understood and reduces the need to repeat their life story.
