Today saw the fourth meeting of the King's Homelessness Researcher Network. Co-founded in 2024 by Jess Harris and Michelle Cornes (HSCWRU), and Jo Underwood (King's Legal Clinic), the Network brings together researchers from Social Science & Public Policy (HSCWRU and The Policy Institute), Law, Life Sciences & Medicine, and Nursing, Midwifery & Palliative Care.

Also attending today were four early career researchers undertaking, or hoping to apply for, NIHR capacity building fellowships on homelessness. We also welcomed Ali Ruíz Coronel, a Mexican scholar in this field, visiting the UK in 2026 on sabbatical, based at the Homelessness Research Programme at HSCWRU.
