Research into the housing-related support needs of homeless veterans

Abstract: The Office for Public Management (OPM) Group conducted research for Alabaré in late 2016 with homeless veterans using its supported housing services. The study aimed to develop a deeper understanding of the current and emerging needs of homeless veterans living in Alabaré’s supported housing in England and Wales. The research had three objectives: 1. To inform Alabaré’s current and planned support work with homeless veterans; 2. To identify whether service development might be needed to meet emerging and future needs of homeless veterans; and 3. To convey the different experiences and needs of homeless veterans as individual people in an accessible and human way to key audiences.
