Housing and homelessness
Our work on homelessness has included evaluations of Housing First initiatives and family hubs andeconomic evaluations of homelessness interventions. In housing, we have carried out research on assisting people with disabilities and older people to live independently in their own homes. We also have a large body of work on social housing, including the development of a measurement framework for new developments and the use of brain health principles in social housing management.
