FINAL EVALUATION OF THE ROUGH SLEEPERS
INITIATIVE
Footnotes
1 A small amount of residual funding was
held back to pay for delayed projects or projects in areas
which had not made successful bids
2 Through the cooperation and support of GHN, access to
the full GHN monitoring dataset, as at 31st March 2004, was
given to CHP. These data extend back to when the database
was being developed during the first six months of 2000.
However, as the earliest data are not very complete and a
decision has been taken by CHP to concentrate on the period
for which a more complete dataset is available, from 1st
July 2000 to 31st March 2004. These data cover some 34,000
individuals and represented returns made from 58 individual
projects.
3 See also Fitzpatrick and Kennedy,
(2000) for a discussion of these issues in relation to
Glasgow and Edinburgh
4 The Scottish Executive made the data on 93,955
households that approached local authorities as homeless
between 10th December 2001 and 30th September 2003
available to CHP for purposes of this research.
5 See Reid Howie Associates, 2003 for an evaluation of
these projects.
6 Variable amounts of this grant were
given to all local authorities by the Scottish Executive to
help them implement in the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001.
7 i.e. the RSI funding element that is
currently built in to Local Authority Revenue Support Grant
at the time of writing, which will continue to distributed
in this way until at least 2005/6.
8 Slang for 'clue' (Scooby Doo -
Clue).
9 Residualisation is a shorthand term
for describing the process whereby some social rented stock
has been characterised by housing an increasingly
socioeconomically excluded group of tenants. In part, this
process has been fuelled by the Right to Buy, which took
many employed former tenants out of the social rented
sector and left economically inactive tenants within the
sector. Residualisation also reflects the increasing
proportion of socioeconomically marginalised households
entering social rented housing as new tenants. For a
discussion see Lee, P. and Murie. A. (1997)

10 A similar pattern has been reported
in London.
11 Some referred to the importance of
continuing to have a ring-fenced pot of money, although
technically this had already ceased at the time of
writing
