Research and evaluation

We believe homelessness can be ended but we need the evidence to prove it
By taking a place-based approach, and working with six locations across the UK that all have different challenges, we are collating good quality evidence and data, which is essential if we want to truly understand homelessness in all its forms and how to finally end it.
Building evidence to prove that homelessness can be ended
Our Evaluation and Learning Partner – Ipsos UK, Renaisi and Groundswell – is supporting Homewards to better understand the breadth and complexities of homelessness in our six locations over five years, and importantly share what works across our locations and beyond so that our impact reaches as far as possible.

Using evidence we can inspire others to believe that homelessness can be ended
Through Homewards, we hope to improve understanding and boost optimism that there are solutions out there to end homelessness. Our Evaluation and Learning Partner is carrying out regular public perceptions surveys over five years to help us understand any shifts in perceptions over time when it comes to motivations to end homelessness, knowledge of what is being done and what action we, as a society, need to take.
