SNAP 2010

Homeless Link published the first Survey of Needs and Provision (SNAP) in February 2008. The 2010 report provides an updated picture of the extent and nature of services for single homeless people and couples without dependent children in England, and the clients that use them.

BACKGROUND

The report is based on the findings of a telephone survey of homelessness provider organisations conducted on behalf of Homeless Link in November 2009 and on information taken from the Homeless UK (HUK) database.

You can access the questionnaire that was used in the survey here.

WHAT CAN SNAP DO FOR YOU?

SNAP allows service providers, local authorities, commissioners and policy makers to see where services fit into the national picture. It provides key evidence on the characteristics of homeless people and their service needs. Information in SNAP can be used in the following ways:

  • as supporting evidence in proposals for service provision
  • to inform strategies for homelessness policy and services
  • to help determine decisions about awards of contracts for service provisiont
  • to complement other evidence as to the needs and background of homeless people.

We have picked out some specific areas of interest from SNAP 2010.

SNAP data has also been used to help compile our Local Homelessness Statistics Tables and National Summary Table, which show a wide variety of latest figures on statutory and non-statutory homelessness, planned moves and numbers of services.
