Prevention
Randomised Controlled Trial

Using data to prevent homelessness

This project will use data on council tax debt, housing benefit, social work data to identify residents at risk of homelessness.

Opening date for applications: 15th April 2024

Closing date for applications: 14th May 2024

How we are doing it

Where data held about a household suggests at risk of homelessness, the local authority will proactively reach out with a telephone call and offered support in a human-centred way such as by rescheduling debt payments. We expect to have results from the trial in autumn 2025.

Ways to get involved

We are looking for four additional local authorities to deliver this service over an 18-month period.
