The Stabilisation Centre: Proposed Model Integrating Health & Homelessness

Wednesday, May 13, 2026

People experiencing homelessness often face interconnected challenges — chronic physical illness, mental health needs, substance dependence, trauma, and extreme social instability. Too often, services respond to these issues separately, leaving individuals cycling between emergency departments, temporary accommodation, the streets, and crisis services.

This webinar introduces the proposed Stabilisation Centre in Coventry — not a hospital step-down facility, but a dedicated health and homelessness intervention for people with multiple and overlapping needs.

The model focuses on stabilisation rather than admission or discharge. It brings together clinical care, psychosocial support, and housing coordination within a trauma-informed environment, aiming to interrupt repeated crisis presentations and create a platform for longer-term recovery and engagement. The session will explore:

  • Why traditional acute and community pathways struggle to meet the needs of this cohort
  • The role of stigma, fragmentation and system design in driving repeat crisis use
  • How a stabilisation approach could improve health outcomes while reducing pressure on emergency services
  • Key design principles, partnership requirements and implementation challenges

This webinar is for everyone interested in solutions at the intersection of health inequality and homelessness.
