Intervention

A programme to assist the most entrenched rough sleepers with secure accommodation and ongoing targeted support, using a housing first approach. It aims to provide the wrap-around support needed to enable individuals to sustain a tenancy in one of 270 homes to be made available by 15 Greater Manchester housing providers and two private rented sector partners – with charities Shelter, Great Places and The Brick ensuring individuals receive the intensive emotional and practical support they need to access appropriate health, training and employment services. The focus is on an individual’s assets and strengths, using a personalised fund to realise their individual ambitions and aspirations. The partnership invests in a second, third, fourth chance ethos, so it doesn’t matter how many times it takes for a participant to stabilise and move forward.

Target population

‘Entrenched rough sleepers’ – people who have regularly slept rough over the past two years and/or are well known to homelessness services

Data may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, and/or not current for various reasons: INDIGO is a collaborative and iterative initiative that mostly relies on projects all over the world volunteering to share their data. We have a system for processing information and try to attribute data to named sources, but we do not audit, cross-check, or verify all information provided to us. It takes time and resources to share data, which may not have been included in a project’s budget. Many of the projects are ongoing and timely updates may not be available. Different people may have different interpretations of data items and definitions. Even when data are high quality, interpretation or generalisation to different contexts may not be possible and/or requires additional information and/or expertise.
