to ensure that people at risk of, or experiencing homelessness have a place to stay,
and the right care and support to recover their health and wellbeing after leaving
hospital. In January 2024 the Department published guidance on discharging people
at risk of, or experiencing homelessness, to support staff involved in planning safe
and supportive discharge of these patients from hospital. Furthermore, between 2020

a hospital stay. The Department’s guidance on discharging people at risk of, or experiencing
homelessness, is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/discharging-people-at-risk-of-or-experiencing-homelessness/discharging-people-at-risk-of-or-experiencing-homelessness"
