The first interim report uses systems thinking techniques to understand how homelessness and rough sleeping interacts with the wider system through interviews, systems mapping and a review of major homelessness and rough sleeping policies and programmes. The report also presents findings from evaluations of the Homelessness Prevention Grant, Rough Sleeping Initiative and Rough Sleeping Accommodation Programme. It explores what is working well and less well and how the wider system is affecting the delivery of these programmes. The findings draw on fieldwork with central and local government stakeholders, their delivery partners, and people with lived experience of homelessness and rough sleeping.
