Question
To ask the Scottish Government how it measures the success of its Housing Options Approach.
Answer
Statistical information on the operation of housing options approaches is collected by local authorities (Prevent 1) and published by the Scottish Government. This and the HL1 statistics on homelessness applications provide ways that the operation of the approach can be measured.
However, we also ensure that statistical information is underpinned by regular engagement and sharing of best practice on homelessness prevention between the Scottish Government, Housing Option Hubs, other partners and homeless people themselves to help measure progress.
