| Objectives |
The project analysed the impact of welfare policies and welfare reform on users. Attention was given on the role of services and more generally the non-governmental sector. For that purpose a methodology for performance measurement of services providing welfare and housing assistance to socially deprived individuals and households was developed. We then tested the performance measurement methodology on housing support services in selected European Union countries and developed standards of service delivery in the field of supported accommodation assistance which took into account the needs and the points of view of users. |
