Abstract
Accommodation-based interventions for individuals experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, homelessness.
Highlights
Almost 1.6 billion individuals lack adequate housing
Suttor argues that while it may be advantageous to create interventions tailored to an individual's unique needs, there is a need to classify approaches (Suttor, 2016)
Most commentators acknowledge the challenges of lack of clear definition of the many terminologies used to describe accommodation‐based interventions
Summary
Almost 1.6 billion individuals lack adequate housing. Many accommodation‐based approaches have evolved across the globe to incorporate additional support and services beyond delivery of housing. Objectives: This review examines the effectiveness of accommodation‐based approaches on outcomes including housing stability, health, employment, crime, wellbeing, and cost for individuals experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness. The second element of the current review involved synthesising qualitative data extracted from process evaluations included in CHI's implementation and process evaluation EGM The purpose of this synthesis was to complement the quantitative evidence reported above and provide a better understanding of what factors influence programme effectiveness. The typology used to construct the original EGM (White et al, 2018) was developed using a grounded theory approach piloted on 25 papers initially This iterative process was combined with expert knowledge, ensuring that the broad concepts identified would adequately capture all papers included in the map. Using a best fit synthesis framework, it is these five analytical categories that have been used to synthesise and organise the data analysis reported
