Supported Housing Task and Finish Group Main Report
This sub-group of the Homelessness Prevention and Strategy Group was set up to consider the future role of supported housing for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. This report makes 14 recommendations.
Appendix (iii) Current Provision and Estimate Demand
This estimate annual demand spans a 2-5% range of people who make a homeless application to the local authority each year. The Shared Spaces research [ref 4] triangulated data sources to set the percentage range. The number corresponds to Scottish Government homeless data [ref 26].
