Knowledge Hub

In April 2021, Homeless Link commissioned Imogen Blood & Associates, in partnership with the University of York, to carry out research on the point in people’s journeys through Housing First services where intensive support is reduced, ended or changed into a different offer. This webinar covers the key findings of the research, including case studies from around England and recommendations for future practice.

The UK Government is rolling out a new digital immigration system, which will replace all physical visas, such as biometric residence permit (BRP), visa vignette stickers or immigration ink stamps in passports, or biometric residence cards (BRC). The Government’s aim is for the visa system to be fully electronic by 2025. This guidance provides an overview of everyone impacted by these changes, what they need to do and by when.

This guide describes and gives good practice examples and approaches at each stage of the commissioning cycle, specifically for commissioning homelessness services.
