Choice, lettings and homelessness in the South West

This project was commissioned by the South West Region of the Housing Corporation, with the support of the South West Regional Housing Board and the South West Branch of the Chartered Institute of Housing, as part of a larger national project commissioned by the Housing Corporation.

The report of the national project was published in 2007 as Tackling Homelessness: Efficiencies in Lettings Functions.

The South West region project is focused on the impact of the introduction of choice-based lettings schemes on the rehousing of the homeless and whether the introduction of choice in lettings has assisted or hindered homeless households (or households at risk of becoming homeless) in finding settled accommodation in the social housing sector.
