Alma Economics conducted an in-depth review of homelessness and rough sleeping in the UK in a large-scale study for the Ministry of Housing,
Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
The study was broken down into three distinct components:
A Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA) on the potential causes of homelessness and how these differ geographically and across different groups.
A review of existing models of homelessness used by policymakers in the UK and abroad.
A feasibility study to inform the development of analytical models for forecasting trends in homelessness and rough sleeping at the national level and across localities.
Our work provided MHCLG and DWP with the evidence base required to support the development of policy analysis tools to inform ministerial decision-making.
➥ The reports are published on the MHCLG website.
