Last year, a DC resident was looking for apartments with his newly received housing voucher. His parents brought him when he was 8. After years of homelessness, just a few weeks away from permanent housing, federal troops took over DC. Via @_INSP.

@bigissuenorth has launched new limited-edition Christmas socks, cards and wrapping paper designed by Manchester artist Stanley Chow, with 100% of profits supporting vendors across the North. The range, created with Stand4Socks, helps fund income, skills support and services for people experiencing poverty, while each pair sold also donates socks to someone facing homelessness.

If you've not read my piece for the @_INSP and @MikeFindMedia on the Georgian Vagrancy Act, please do. It's about time Britain started leading the world in new, good ideas again. Best Paul Atherton FRSA
@theRSAorg
The Georgian Vagrancy Act, signed into law in 1824, effectively criminalises homelessness. It is set to be repealed by spring 2026 – but the damage is already done, says Paul Atherton: insp.ngo/articles/lived-expe…

This is exactly the kind of initiative that inspires our work at @Haven_Impact. Media narratives about homelessness often miss the complex realities that @INSP’s project will illuminate. By empowering those with lived experience to become storytellers, we can collectively challenge stereotypes and drive more effective solutions.🏠 #ChangingTheNarrative
"I recently had the privilege of attending the open lunch meeting for the International Network of Street Papers (INSP) new project, "Changing the Narrative on Homelessness & Poverty."

Our founder and CEO @sebastianrocca spoke to @_INSP about why he started Micro Rainbow, and how our holistic approach to integration helps #LGBTQI people fleeing persecution move on with their lives.
@MicroRainbow is a UK-based social enterprise that provides safe housing, employability and care services for LGBTQ+ asylum seekers. INSP sat down with CEO Sebastian Rocca to investigate.
