| Members from the WY-FI Network collaborated with the University of Sheffield and the Making Every Adult Matter (MEAM) coalition on research for a policy briefing which has been circulated to all major political parties. The briefing entitled ‘Going Further Back: Earlier action on multiple needs to prevent homelessness’ reflects on the rise of homelessness nationally over the last five years. The report recommends a co-ordinated approach to prevention and suggests how local and national policy can support this by focussing on opportunities for early intervention. It argues that services should be designed to respond to trauma and emphasises the importance of building trusting relationships. | |

This review finds important lessons for policy and service delivery. Published November 2015 | |

This report is based on the ideas and experiences of people with multiple needs. It sets out how the new Government, national and local policymakers and commissioners, can reduce stigma, improve services and support people to achieve their ambitions. Published June 2015 | |
