1 Ipsos MORI, Imogen Blood & Associates and Housing & Support Partnership were commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) to undertake an evidence review regarding the scale, scope and cost of supported housing across Great Britain. The methodology for this review was developed following extensive scoping in 2015 and included four strands, each drawing on significant sector involvement: A survey of all local authority Housing Benefit teams and commissioners of supported housing, to which 197 local authorities responded between 19 October 2 December 2015; A survey of supported housing providers, receiving a total of 173 responses conducted between 17 February 9 March 2016; Qualitative research involving over 200 participants across Great Britain including 54 in depth interviews and discussion groups with 150 participants including commissioners, providers and sector bodies conducted between March 2015 February 2016; and Validation and calibration of primary survey data with existing data (including from Continuous Recording of Letting and Sales in Social Housing in England (CORE); Elderly Accommodation Counsel and UK Refuges Online among others). Data presented here summarises key evidence presented in the report based on validated data derived from the two principal quantitative primary data collection methods; the survey of local authority Housing Benefit teams and commissioners and the survey of supported housing providers. Where counts do not sum, this is due to the effect of rounding. For presentational purposes, data presented in the report has been rounded and may vary to the more detailed data estimates presented here. Estimates have been calibrated against a range of existing data sources but where survey data has been used to profile at lower levels of disaggregation these estimates will be subject to their own sampling tolerances. Appropriate caution should be exercised where base sizes are small.
