Learnings from providing integrated health, housing and wider care for people rough sleeping during the COVID- 19 pandemic: a national qualitative study of the 'Everyone In' policy initiative.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The 'Everyone In' national policy initiative launched in England during the COVID- 19 pandemic provided accommodation and health and care support to people who were (or at risk of) sleeping rough. This study aims to understand what worked well and less well in implementing 'Everyone In' for improving physical and mental health outcomes for people experiencing homelessness.

Methods

Between January and October 2023, in-depth interviews/focus groups were conducted across England with those involved in the delivery/implementation of 'Everyone In' and those accommodated. Framework analysis and case study analysis were used for a contextual understanding of the implementation of the policy initiative.

Results

Twenty-five people accommodated through 'Everyone In'
