Street Impact Bristol are supporting 125 specific people rough sleeping in Bristol, aiming to support them off the streets, through providing accommodation and vital support services tailored to each individual’s needs. This is targeted to individuals who are selected by Bristol City Council and are, by definition, diffcult to help with complex needs. The work also involves getting to know clients and creating individual “theories for change” based on the targets they discuss with clients. The Street Impact Bristol team is able to spend as much time as is needed with individuals, because the contract pays based on outcomes. This means they can link up services in a way that all too often, doesn’t happen.
Individuals selected by Bristol City Council who are over 21 years old, with a history of rough sleeping or long term engagement with homelessness services and are, by definition, difficult to help with complex needs (including substance misuse, a history of offending or street-based anti-social behaviour, mental health problems or long- term physical health conditions.) They have 'recourse to public funds' and are not currently being adequately or effectively supported through existing services.

INDIGO data are shared for research and policy analysis purposes. INDIGO data can be used to support a range of insights, for example, to understand the social outcomes that projects aim to improve, the network of organisations across projects, trends, scales, timelines and summary information. The collaborative system by which we collect, process, and share data is designed to advance data-sharing norms, harmonise data definitions and improve data use. These data are NOT shared for auditing, investment, or legal purposes. Please independently verify any data that you might use in decision making. We provide no guarantees or assurances as to the quality of these data. 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. Help us improve our data quality: email us at indigo@bsg.ox.ac.uk if you have data on new projects, changes or performance updates on current projects, clarifications or corrections on our data, and/or confidentiality or sensitivity notices. Please also give input via the INDIGO Data Definitions Improvement Tool and INDIGO Feedback Questionnaire.
