Abstract

In September 2013, the Department of Social Sciences and Languages at
Northumbria University was contracted by the North East Regional Homelessness
Group to conduct an evaluation of the Through the Gate Plus (TTGP) service
provided by Foundation in the North East of England. Specifically, the aims were to:
assess the effectiveness of the TTGP Service delivery model; understand the specific
approaches to service delivery of Shelter and Foundation; assess the distance-travelled
by service users in respect of housing, offendingand key risk factors; identify gaps in
service provision for offenders with housing needs; and identify key learning points for
future support services.

It was hoped that the evaluation would provide a greater understanding of the value
of the support provided by Foundation and help identify lessons for the future
delivery of housing support to offenders.
