Behind every experience of homelessness is a person with their own story, their own challenges and their own strengths. Too often, discussions around homelessness focus on symptoms rather than causes. This short documentary explores approaches that prioritise dignity, choice and long-term support, recognising the impact that trauma, mental health challenges and substance use can have on a person's journey. Created as part of the EU-funded Home4Health project, the film brings together the perspectives of frontline workers, people with lived experience and those working to shape policy and services across Europe. It focuses on meeting people where they are, and on the role of harm reduction and Housing First strategies in supporting people out of homelessness. As a Home4Health partner, Cork Simon is proud to support work that promotes more inclusive, person-centred responses to homelessness and advocates for lasting change here at home and across the EU.
