Interrogate the evidence, find what works

We collaborate with academics, universities, and research groups to uncover what really helps people out of homelessness. Explore our growing body of work that includes randomised control trials, systematic reviews, policy papers, and books which help to fill the gaps in our understanding of homelessness.
Evidence for impact is our new platform that makes the growing evidence base on homelessness easy to explore and understand. Interrogate the evidence, work through key questions, and act on what works to prevent homelessness. Bring trusted research directly to your decision-making, today.
