These chapters will help you understand the key drivers for homelessness and the importance of early intervention and prevention work by working with partners and diversifying your outreach support.
The concept of homelessness is wide-ranging, but in terms of the law, it can range from those without a roof to people without a suitable, stable and secure place to live. People who are experiencing problems with their housing may take action in several ways, including resolving the problem without any assistance, by seeking support via a voluntary provision or by seeking support from a local authority.
Case Study
The People's Gateway was a multi-agency initiative to help families avoid a financial crisis and homelessness.
