General overview

Stage of development: Implementation

Policy sector: Homelessness

Start date of service provision: Aug 2018

Intervention

Journey to Social Inclusion (J2SI) takes a relationship-based approach, provides long-term support, and works from the premise that if people can sustain their housing, this provides a solid foundation to improving other areas in people's lives. The program aims to end the cycle of chronic homelessness by taking a relationship-based, trauma-informed and strengths-based approach in the context of long-term assertive case management supplemented by access to rapid housing.

Target population

People aged between 25 and 65 years who are experiencing sustained and chronic homelessness. To be eligible individuals must be chronically homeless and have been sleeping rough continuously for a minimum of one year and/or be currently homeless and have experienced three or more episodes of homelessness over the past three years.
There will be 3 cohorts (60 per year). Each cohort will receive 3 years of support

Important Notice and Disclaimer on INDIGO Data

INDIGO data are shared for research and policy analysis purposes. INDIGO data can be used to support a range of insights, for example, to understand the social outcomes that projects aim to improve, the network of organisations across projects, trends, scales, timelines and summary information. The collaborative system by which we collect, process, and share data is designed to advance data-sharing norms, harmonise data definitions and improve data use. These data are NOT shared for auditing, investment, or legal purposes. Please independently verify any data that you might use in decision making. We provide no guarantees or assurances as to the quality of these data. Data may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, and/or not current for various reasons: INDIGO is a collaborative and iterative initiative that mostly relies on projects all over the world volunteering to share their data. We have a system for processing information and try to attribute data to named sources, but we do not audit, cross-check, or verify all information provided to us. It takes time and resources to share data, which may not have been included in a project’s budget. Many of the projects are ongoing and timely updates may not be available. Different people may have different interpretations of data items and definitions. Even when data are high quality, interpretation or generalisation to different contexts may not be possible and/or requires additional information and/or expertise. Help us improve our data quality: email us at indigo@bsg.ox.ac.uk if you have data on new projects, changes or performance updates on current projects, clarifications or corrections on our data, and/or confidentiality or sensitivity notices.
