Managing transitions in Housing First services guidance

Since 2010, Housing First has continued to scale-up across England, with some services supporting residents for several years and others still in their relative infancy. This guidance for frontline services will look at different points of transition in Housing First, including when a resident no longer needs support, periods in prison, death and dying, moving to alternative accommodation and withdrawal of consent. It may also be of interest to finders and service partners.

It is informed by Homeless Link’s 2020 research into the reducing, changing or ending of Housing First support, commissioned to better understand how services are managing these different points in residents’ journeys.
