Co-operate! How to help people excluded from decent housing
COOP - the three year project focusing on integrated forms of co-operation between local authorities, housing providers and social care providers in preventing and addressing homelessness or housing loss has just published its final report.
The project was undertaken as part of the Trans-national Exchange Programme and involved a consortium of 38 institutions, including 7 research institutes (InWIS, Bochum; PSPC, Brussels; OTB, Delft; URS, Prague; IRM, Cracow; SRZ Vienna and CHP, York) and 31 agencies across seven countries - Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and the UK. All teams have explored inter-agency working in at least one city in their respective countries: Vienna, Brussels, Cracow/Poznan, Duisburg/ Hanover, Rotterdam, Brno and Leeds.
The final report - Co-operate! How to help people excluded from decent housing - provides seventeen examples of good practice including interventions aimed at: preventing housing loss; provision of permanent housing; provision of support to maintain accommodation and the provision of information and advice.
See the full report (CO-OPERATE_report - 12 2005_en), the summary (CO-OPERATE_summary_12 2005_en) and the folder (co-operate! folder englisch.pdf), all in English, below.
