Most homeless women are never counted. The people who meet them first can change that.
That's who I train, I speak and consult on hidden homelessness in women. I'm Lived Experience Lead at aneemo, founder of She Believes She Can CIC, and a TEDx speaker. I work with NHS trusts, local authorities, housing associations and universities.
62%
of adults in temporary accommodation are women, yet only 11% of homelessness services are specifically designed to meet their needs.
Ways to work together
Training
Hidden in Plain Sight
Half-day training for up to 20 staff on recognising and responding to hidden homelessness in women.
Speaking
Keynotes and panels on hidden homelessness, lived experience leadership, and why women fall out of the data.
Consultancy
Co-production, lived experience involvement and service reviews, so your services are shaped by women who've lived it.
What your team will leave with
Spot what they've been missing
Recognise the signs of hidden homelessness in women who come to them for something else.
Understand why she stays quiet
Why women disclose later than men, and what that delay costs her and your service.
Ask the question that opens the door
A practical way to surface housing insecurity without shame or shutdown.
Record it so it counts
So hidden homelessness reaches your data, your strategy and your funding case.
