Summary

Intensive Family Support Projects (IFSPs) seek to provide families at risk of eviction because of anti-social behaviour with intensive support to address their often multiple and complex needs (Nixon et al 2006a, 2006b). When the study began in January 2004, IFSPs were in their infancy and the six projects included in the evaluation were unique.

Recognising the damaging consequences of cycles of eviction and repeat homelessness, they sought to provide a new and more sustainable approach to dealing with anti-social behaviour. The particular form of support employed by IFSPs varies from family to family but commonly comprises of practical assistance in the home, provision of advice, liaison and advocacy support, sign-posting to other relevant services, help in managing finances and claiming benefits, personal skills development, anger management, parenting skills training, and behaviour management.
