Results
25 November 2019
OECD Workshop on Homelessness and Affordable Housing Policies
7
Evaluation of level 1 (2009-2013) encompassed 1521 citizens:
• People in homelessness gain a high chance of escaping homelessness
• Approximately 90 % of citizens who received housing support retain housing
throughout the intervention
• The initiative has enabled professional development as well as an
organizational framework for a more systematic and holistic approach to
homelessness
Evaluation of level 2 (2014-2016) encompassed 363 citizens (135 had completed the program when it was evaluated)
• The vast majority of citizens in the program have gained and retained
housing during the intervention;
• Generally, municipalities have an understanding of the need to work more
intensively and systematically through the three evidence-based methods,
CTI, ICM and ACT;
• An assessment of the citizen’s situation is an important precondition for a
successful intervention. The initiative promotes the use of citizen
assessments.
