How predictive
analytics can help
identify people at risk
of homelessness
About Policy in Practice
Jade Alsop
Commercial Director
Louise Murphy
Policy and Data Analyst
A team of
professionals
with extensive
knowledge of the
welfare system
who are
passionate about
making social
policy work
We help local
authorities use
their household
level data to
identify
vulnerable
households,
target support
and track their
interventions
We develop
software that
engages people.
We identify the
actions people can
take to increase
their income,
lower their costs
and build their
financial
resilience

Homelessness - what do we know?
Our policy work
Universal Credit roadmap
The drivers of homelessness
Around 5,000
rough sleepers
in England and
8,000 in the UK
A 15% increase
on a year ago,
and the 7th year
numbers have
risen
Rough sleeping
The NAO concluded that
government efforts to tackle
homelessness could not
demonstrate value for money
The government needs to:
• Evaluate effectiveness
• Help local authorities share best
practice
• Help ensure housing supply
meets housing need
• Monitor the impacts of policies
and interventions on
homelessness
NAO: A change in approach

Ask the audience:
Do you use data to inform your
homelessness strategy?
We work with household-level data
Housing Benefit / Council Tax data, household
level arrears / debt data from local authorities
Data is processed by our Benefit and
Budgeting Calculator
Detailed view of household-level financial circumstances
now and in the future
Councils identify and engage households at risk before
a crisis occurs
Our analytics
We analyse the living
standards of households
now, and model their
predicted living
standards in 2023
This allows us to identify
households who are
coping now, but will be
struggling in the future

  1. So before we get into how we have done that – it would be good to get a show of hands on whether you are currently using a data led approach and whether you are looking for ways to improve that. No hands- OK so So I walk you through our data led approach and what data we use to do this
  2. Louise has mentioned what we do and how we do it but whats important here today is how this has supported organisations to address current homelessness and prevent future homelessness
