IRISS publish new resources tackling homelessness prevention
Between June 2014 and April 2015, The Institute for Research and Innovation in Social Services (IRISS) led a project to explore the perceptions of, and approaches to, innovation in homelessness prevention in Scotland.
Through engagement with a variety of partners including local authorities, third sector, health and Scottish Government, the project captured key messages from a collection of approaches which help support people affected by homelessness.
They have now published the learning from the project, which is presented in eight case studies and multimedia resources, including an IRISS evidence review (Insight), audio, video and data visualisations.
You can access these resources here: Homelessness: Pathways and Prevention.
Next steps…
Building on the learning and networks established through the pathways and prevention project, the next phase will focus on the role of lived experience and peer-led interventions in homelessness prevention. A scoping workshop will be held in central Glasgow on August 12.
If you’re interested in attending, further information is available on the project website.
