Move-on Plans Protocol (MOPP)

The MOPP is designed to help local authorities and service providers address local factors preventing effective move-on. The protocol is based around local partnership; a move-on audit; the development of a move-on action plan; and regular analysis of progress and results.

Supported by Communities and Local Government (CLG), Homeless Link has piloted the protocol and produced a toolkit to support its implementation. Read the joint letter about the MOPP sent by Communities and Local Government and Homeless Link to all Directors of Housing.

The MOPP toolkit

Our Move-on Plans Protocol booklet outlines the findings and recommendations from the MOPP pilot, provides basic information about how the MOPP works and, in doing so, highlights the benefits that your area could gain from using the protocol.

Our MOPP toolkit explains how to implement the protocol and provides all the relevant tools, instructions and links to good practice. The protocol can be implemented in any area regardless of local characteristics.

You may also want to read the full report of the pilot 'Unlocking solutions', the independent evaluation of MOPP, or access our online good practice move-on handbook.

Other toolkits from Homeless Link

Our Clean Break toolkit has been developed to assist commissioners, service providers and strategic leads for drug and housing services create more integrated housing and care pathways for drug users engaging in treatment services.

Our Older People's Needs Audit can be used by local authorities to audit the numbers and support needs of older homeless people they have living in hostels or in contact with street teams in their area. This information can then be fed into local older people’s housing strategies and homelessness strategies.
