  2. The Commonweal Peer Landlord Model • An innovative approach to resettlement and homelessness prevention • Support provided to tenants, housed in appropriate shared accommodation by a resident Peer Landlord • Incentives for Peer Landlord • Piloted by Catch22 and Thames Reach in various London Boroughs

  3. Aims of the Commonweal Peer Landlord Model • To provide clients with the skills, confidence and experience to find and maintain tenancies in the real world • To improve the ability of service users to develop positive relationships and partake in meaningful activities and find/maintain employment • NB tenants to have minimum support needs and to be education/training or work ready

  4. How the Commonweal Peer Landlord Model is Envisaged to Work • Tenants provided with low-cost housing (of a decent standard) • Tenants will develop the knowledge and skills to enable them to move on to independent housing after c12 months (although not under pressure to leave) • Support provided by Peer Landlord with input from other support services as necessary

  5. Research Aims and Objectives • To assess and compare the effectiveness of the Commonweal Peer Landlord Model with two different client groups • To assess whether the Peer Landlord Model is more effective than similar interventions • To assess the benefits to society, including cost-benefits • To provide regular feedback on emerging findings to inform the development of the model

  6. Emerging Findings • Securing suitable accommodation in a tight housing market • Selection of Peer Landlords and tenants • Role of the Peer Landlord • Early successes – and problems

  7. Lessons (and questions) from the early stages of the evaluation • Selection of tenants and Peer Landlords • Support and training needs of tenants and Peer Landlords • Plans for move on – is there any incentive to move out into the real world?
