  2. Outline of Dissemination • Focus is on Policy development at a National level • This strand aims to take the recommendations from the Measuring Homelessness report and achieve policy change at a national level • Translated summary of Measuring Homelessness report • National Meetings • Follow-up action • Homelessness Monitoring Strategies

  3. Measuring Homelessness report • The Measuring Homelessness report is already available from the EC website in English in both a full and executive summary version. • An expanded summary (about 40 pages) has been prepared • This is to be translated into national languages • All translated reports to be available from the Mphasis website • There is also a small budget for printing copies of the translated report

  4. National Meetings • National meetings to take place in each country (20 in all) • Each meeting to be arranged by the national coordinator, and assisted by 2 members of the project research team • These have to be phased from June 2008 to April 2009 for timetabling reasons • Funding for 12 people to attend each meeting. It may be possible to add more (unfunded) attendees • However these are to be working meetings not conferences • Some countries may need to carry our pre-meeting work to establish the national. • Where possible, national meetings to be co-ordinated with research strand.

  5. Follow-up action • The national meetings are to be a starting point for action, not an end point. • The aim is for progress to be made towards the recommendations at a national level in the Measuring Homelessness report • Follow-up action to be co-ordinated or monitored by national representatives • However much of the work will need to be the responsibility of different people. • Feedback on progress to end of project seminar in September 2009

  6. Outcomes expected • Progress in adopting a harmonised definition of homelessness and core variables • Progress in establishing service provider databases • Progress towards agreement between key stakeholders on action to be taken to improve data collection from service about homeless people and time-scale for this. • Statement of actions and/or progress made during the implementation of Mphasis and of identified plans of action (to be included in the final conference documentation or in the final project report).
