“…Rough sleepers tend to be a group with multiple barriers to resettlement (Parsell, 2011; Fitzpatrick et al , 2013), and the accommodation options available to them, such as hostels and night shelters, can be perceived as even more intimidating and threatening than sleeping on the streets (Fitzpatrick and Jones, 2005; Cloke et al , 2010; Parsell et al , 2014). Recognition of this latter point has been a major motivation for the development of scatter-site ‘Housing First’ programmes as an alternative to traditional congregate forms of homeless accommodation (Busch-Geertsema, 2013).…”

There is intense debate over the legitimacy of interventions which seek behavioural change on the part of street homeless people. 'Hard' measures, such as arresting people for begging, are particularly controversial, but 'softer' interventions such as motivational interviewing have also prompted objections on grounds that they are paternalistic. At the same time, the 'non-interventionist' stance of some service providers has been accused of perpetuating harmful street lifestyles. Inspired by Ruth Grant's philosophically informed interrogation of the ethics of incentives, we propose a normative framework for application in this field. Via systematic exploration of Grant's three 'legitimacy standards' (legitimate purpose, voluntary response, effects on character), and an additional outcome-focussed fourth (effectiveness, proportionality and balance), we attempt to unsettle any intuitive assumption that noninterventionist approaches are necessarily more morally defensible than interventionist ones. We also, however, explicate the high ethical and empirical bar required to justify social control measures.

“…Papers that considered a wide variety of factors from legislation and housing markets to perceptions held by services users were initially viewed for full text screening. From the 135 papers related to accommodation that were reconciled, 10 papers were selected for synthesis using purposive sampling to create a manageable and rich data set (Austin et al, 2014 ; Booth et al, 2016 ; Burt, 2009 ; Busch‐Geertsema, 2013 ; Greenwood et al, 2005 ; HRDC, 2003; Keast et al, 2008 ; Lawlor & Bowen, 2017 ; Pleace & Bretherton, 2013 ; Turner Research & Strategy, 2015 ; Sewel, 2016 ). These studies are presented in Tables 9 and 10 below.…”

“…Government funding restrictions on social housing meant that any property acquired could not be used as transitional housing (Lawlor & Bowen, 2017 ) and even when exceptions to this were made (e.g., in Limerick) it remained very difficult to purchase properties in a timely manner. Similarly, Busch‐Geertsema ( 2013 ) suggested that long wait times for users looking for accommodation, particularly in the case of scattered social housing, was a considerable challenge. Agencies such as the Y‐Foundation in Finland had some success gaining access to housing through the private rented or owner‐occupied sector for use in Housing First programmes.…”

“…Busch‐Geertsema ( 2013 ) explores some of these issues in the Housing First Europe evaluation. In this evaluation, it was suggested that dissatisfaction from participants, which was rare overall, related in some cases to the support provided (asking for more support, e.g., in Lisbon), but more often to the choice of housing and in some cases long‐waiting times before being allocated permanent housing.…”

Background: Globally, almost 1.6 billion individuals lack adequate housing. Many accommodation-based approaches have evolved across the globe to incorporate additional support and services beyond delivery of housing.Objectives: This review examines the effectiveness of accommodation-based approaches on outcomes including housing stability, health, employment, crime, wellbeing, and cost for individuals experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness.Search Methods: The systematic review is based on evidence already identified in two existing EGMs commissioned by the Centre for Homelessness Impact (CHI) and built by White et al. The maps were constructed using a comprehensive three stage search and mapping process. Stage one mapped included studies in an existing systematic review on homelessness, stage two was an extensive search of 17 academic databases, three EGM databases, and eight systematic review databases. Finally stage three included web searches for grey literature, scanning reference lists of included studies and consultation with experts to identify additional literature. We identified 223 unique studies across 551 articles from the effectiveness map on 12th April 2019.Selection Criteria: We include research on all individuals currently experiencing, or at risk of experiencing homelessness irrespective of age or gender, in high-income countries. The Network Meta-Analysis (NMA) contains all study designs where a comparison group was used. This includes randomised controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-experimental designs, matched comparisons and other study designs that attempt to isolate the impact of the intervention on homelessness. The NMA primarily addresses how interventions can reduce homelessness and increase housing stability for those individuals experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, homelessness. Additional outcomes are examined and narratively described. These include: access to mainstream healthcare; crime and justice; employment and income; capabilities and wellbeing; and cost of intervention. These outcomes reflect the domains used in the EGM, with the addition of cost.

“…Despite the growing evidence base for Housing First for individuals with complex needs in Europe (Geertsema, 2013;Bretherton and Pleace, 2015;Pleace et al, 2015;Bernard, Yuncal and Panadero, 2016;Buxant, 2016;Tinland et al, 2016), there are no European studies on ending homelessness of families through the Housing First approach. 1 In contrast, there is long-standing evidence for Housing First and Rapid Re-Housing programs for families from a number of projects across the US.…”

New target groups bring new demands on the knowledge base-to date, there has not been any Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) on family HF intervention. This protocol describes the design of a Czech single-site demonstration of RCT with a treatment group of 50 families and presents results of statistical compliance testing of the treatment and control group at baseline. This project is a pragmatic, mixed methods, single-site field trial of the effectiveness of Housing First in Brno, Czech Republic randomised 150 participant homeless families, stratified by number of children, into treatment and control groups. Quantitative outcome measures are collected over a 12-month period and a qualitative process evaluation is being completed. Primary outcomes being measured include a decrease in time the family spent homeless, improvement in security of tenure, improvement of mental health of mothers, and decrease in the use of emergency health services.
