The HOME Study uses existing data to explore how homeless accommodation impacts on the health of people experiencing homelessness.
Better quality accommodation is likely to improve people’s health, but we have limited evidence to bring about change.
Health data is used to plan health services. However, as housing status is not routinely collected, this makes people experiencing homelessness “invisible”, so this data cannot currently be used to provide evidence of the impact of accommodation on health.
This project will link existing homeless accommodation and NHS health data to provide evidence for improvements in accommodation and health services.
The study is being run by the organisations whose logos are shown in the image.
