Reports on research from the University of the West of England which evaluated a three-year programme funding 17 projects for older homeless people's services. The projects involved Help the Aged, the Housing Associations' Charitable Trust and Crisis. Services provided included: street outreach and day centre services; resettlement and tenancy sustainment; and housing and benefits advice. The study challenged traditional images of older homeless people and found that a combination of difficult experiences and circumstances can often lead to homelessness. The study also revealed how voluntary agencies working in this area also survive on the margins and have difficulties in funding services.

One group of projects focused on resettlement and tenancy support roles, while others offered outreach, day centre, direct access and supported housing services.A minority of non-service delivery projects focused on developing homelessness services and researched the area. Key characteristics of the older people with whom the projects have worked are explored, alongside their presenting needs and the reasons for referral to older homelessness projects.
