The role of housing associations in homelessness strategies

This report describes the results of a study conducted for the Housing Corporation and Communities and Local Government by the Centre for Housing Policy at the University of York.

The research examined the following areas of partnership working between HAs and LHAs:
• partnership working in the prevention of homelessness;
• partnership working in the provision of temporary accommodation;
• partnership working in providing settled housing for statutorily homeless households; and
• partnership working in developing and implementing local homelessness strategies.
