WORKING IT OUT: towards an employability strategy for those
facing homelessness Geraldine Wooley and Carol McNaughton
This report reviews the way employability as a route out of homelessness
has been considered in Scotland since 2001. It looks at the evidence
in Scotland for employability as a successful strategy to combat
the risk of homelessness, and considers whether this process leads
to sustainable employment.
The research is framed by the policy context of homelessness and
employability in Scotland since the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001.
It draws on a range of published reports and three new case studies
which demonstrate the ways in which employability can provide a
route out of homelessness.
The findings of the research form the basis of recommendations
for national strategies to mainstream employability practice and
integrate it into local Homeless Strategies in Scotland.
