Beyond the UK, what can we learn from other countries in developing predictive models to help us target prevention more effectively at vulnerable groups?
Background
To facilitate greater collaboration on research around the drivers of homelessness and rough sleeping, and further explore social, economic and fiscal costs. And to build the evidence on the most effective measures to support people to remain off the streets.
Next steps

COVID-19 and rough sleepers: a randomised controlled trial to evaluate models of housing and support to reduce infection and homelessness
As part of the government's response to COVID-19, 15,000 rough sleepers have now been offered self-contained temporary accommodation in England, mainly in hotels. This approach, which has involved the decanting of hostel...

Lead research organisation: CARDIFF UNIVERSITY
Why might this be relevant?
The project evaluates the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of permanent housing on the risk of COVID-19 infection and housing stability for people experiencing homelessness, which can inform other local authorities' responses to the challenges of COVID-19 and the cost-effectiveness of accommodation alternatives.

Lead research organisation: Northumbria University
Why might this be relevant?
The project investigates and co-produces integrated, community-led, asset-based approaches to supporting people with multiple and complex needs who have been homeless, which can address health disparities in the North East North Cumbria Integrated Care System (NENC ICS). However, it does not specifically address predictive models for targeting prevention at vulnerable groups.
