It said, “Before someone loses their home, there are often warning signs.

“A missed bill, a child missing school, a search online for help. But too often systems only respond when people hit crisis point.”

The statement further reads, “Homewards has launched the Homelessness Data Lab to bring together businesses, local partners and the sector to demonstrate how the latest technology and innovations can also help us to use data to spot when people might need help earlier.”
