Staying In: preventing evictions and abandonment conference

Staying In conference programme
Staying In conference workshops

One-day conference to prevent evictions and abandonment from hostels and supported housing providers.

30 November 2010 | London

About the event

Unplanned moves from hostel accommodation and other supported housing projects in the form of evictions and abandonment result in people returning to street homelessness. Repeat homelessness for this very vulnerable client group could be prevented, resulting in better outcomes for homeless people and cost savings for the agencies that support them. Policymakers and commissioners will also benefit from better evidence about what works in sustaining tenancies within hostels and other supported housing projects for rough sleepers.

This conference:

  • provided good practice information that can be used by organisations to reduce preventable evictions and abandonment
  • shared solutions applicable wherever your service operates
  • shared approaches that are proven to achieve low levels of evictions and abadonments with all clients, including those with the most chaotic behaviour
  • shared solutions applicable for all sized services
  • demonstrated how to balance housing management with support to change behaviour
  • showed how to break the cycle and prevent further exclusions

Reducing the levels of evictions and abandonments demonstrates to commissioners that the service is offering good quality, effective provision and is meeting its targets. It is also is essential if we are to support some of the most vulnerable individuals in society and prevent more clients becoming entrenched rough sleepers.
