An Evaluation of Crisis' Sharing Solutions Programme

Housing and place Policy research and evaluation

Project Director: Stephen Green
Project Duration: 2014-2015

Crisis supported eight projects throughout England, with grant funding from the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG). The programme aimed to develop and deliver innovative ways to improve shared accommodation in the private rented sector for those receiving housing benefit and only entitled to the shared accommodation rate (SAR) of Local Housing Allowance (LHA). The programme aimed to:

develop models of renting that incentivise private landlords to rent to SAR recipients
improve the availability of shared accommodation, and
improve the sustainability of tenancies in shared accommodation.

CRESR carried out an evaluation of the programme, aimed at highlighting solutions that work and how barriers and challenges can be overcome.
