The resources below will help you learn about the evidence base on what works in terms of preventing homelessness amongst people leaving institutions, think about how you can apply that to your local context, and come up with a plan of action.
You can work through this on your own, or with a small group. There are activities you can pick out to do as a team, or to kick off a workshop.

This Evidence in Practice resource draws on our Evidence Note on Drugs and Alcohol. These resources are designed to help you better understand the evidence about what works, think about how it applies to your own area and practice, identify gaps in information and prepare an action plan.
You can approach this on your own or, even better, with your team. Work through at the pace that works for you.If you have any feedback about this or any of our other resources, please get in touch.
