BACKGROUND

The report is based on the findings of a telephone survey of 500 homelessness provider organisations conducted on behalf of Homeless Link in September 2010 and on information taken from the Homeless UK (HUK) database of 3,000 services.

You can access the questionnaire that was used in the survey here.


WHAT CAN SNAP DO FOR YOU?

SNAP allows service providers, local authorities, commissioners and policy makers to see where services fit into the national picture. It provides key evidence on the characteristics of homeless people and their service needs. Information in SNAP can be used in the following ways:

  • as supporting evidence in proposals for service provision
  • to inform strategies for homelessness policy and services
  • to help determine decisions about awards of contracts for service provision
  • to complement other homelessness research.
