This event marks the launch of research conducted by Quality Matters to better understand the experiences of fathers who have been homeless, and the impact of fatherhood in attaining secure, own-door accommodation.

The research sought to facilitate nuanced understanding of the lived experiences of non-custodial or non-residential fathers with experience of homelessness, to understand barriers to this population when they wish to establish, maintain, or improve relationships with their children, and opportunities for addressing these barriers in the context of service provision and national policy.

The research engaged affected fathers, those providing services to them, and those with strategic responsibility to identify barriers and opportunities across the spectrum of influence pertaining to the lives of these men.
