Housing case studies: Homelessness

***This Covenant case study database is still being built. If you have any case studies about homelessness, suitable for adding to the database, please submit a case study.***

Research into homelessness and the Armed Forces

  • Riverside charity is conducting research alongside the University of York to explore current provision and effectiveness of housing-related information, and advice provided to the Armed Forces Community, with the aim of creating an action plan which addresses veterans’ homelessness. Riverside will conduct an international literature review, conduct fieldwork with serving personnel and veterans, and consult with key stakeholders, to identify and map impacts. This will map the journey from someone joining the Armed Forces through to their experiences of homelessness, enabling a view of the right type of interventions to make and when to make them.

Signposting of services about homelessness

  • Rugby Borough Council has a webpage that provides advice to the Armed Forces Community who are at risk of becoming homeless or who are homeless. It provides clear advice, explaining entitlements, additional preference, advice on how to interact with their services, and other help available from third parties
