Although a considerable body of research has reviewed the reasons for homelessness and people's experiences of homelessness, there has been a lesser focus on how people resolve homelessness and on ‘what works’ in promoting successful settlement. This study set out to explore the typical ‘routes’ or pathways followed to resolve homelessness and to resettle, drawing on the available evidence to make recommendations for policy and practice.

The Airborne Initiative (Scotland) was established in June 1994 to provide residential courses as an alternative to custody for male offenders aged 18-25 years who are referred by the court as a condition of a probation order. This research aimed: to identify the characteristics of all offenders on whom an order had been made to attend Airborne; to identify immediate and longer-term outcomes for all of them; to examine the impact of the course on the education and employment prospects and status of offenders; to describe and assess arrangements for throughcare and evaluate their effectiveness; to investigate the cost effectiveness of the Airborne Initiative.
