This report prepared by the Unison Housing Research Lab examines de-identified data on 2933 households who were supported by Unison's Initial Assessment and Planning (IAP) service during the financial year 2016/2017. The report answers three fundamental questions. They are: What are the social characteristics of households that come to the service? What are their housing circumstances when they first present? How are people travelling after they leave the service?
