Choosing homelessness support

1. PurposeDistinguish housing advice, emergency accommodation, outreach and prevention.
2. AccessCheck service location, referral criteria and opening arrangements; a registered office need not provide accommodation.
3. EvidenceAsk about sustained housing outcomes alongside the number of contacts or bed nights.

Selection questions from CharityCompare. Confirm current services with the charity; Clarity Scores assess financial and disclosure proxies, not programme effectiveness.
