Housing First Capacity Has Increased By Almost 600% In Three Years

There has been an almost six-fold increase in the capacity of Housing First services in England since 2017, propelled by an increase in the number of services within social housing, a new report has found. Research by membership organisation Homeless Link found there are 105 active Housing First services in England, compared with 32 in 2017. A total of 87 services responded to a survey carried out as part of this research, which revealed they had a combined capacity to support 1,996 individuals. This can be compared with a similar survey carried out in 2017, which found 28 services had a capacity to support 350 people. Read more on Homeless Link.
