This handbook defines move-on as “a positive, planned move from a hostel or temporary supported accommodation, utilising one of a whole range of housing options as appropriate for the client.”
It differs from resettlement in that the move may be to any form of accommodation appropriate for the client at that point in time, not just long-term housing solutions.
However, most aspects of the resettlement process outlined in this handbook will be relevant in supporting clients, regardless of the accommodation type to which they are moving.
This section focuses on how homelessness providers, working in partnership with local authorities and other relevant stakeholders, can find appropriate accommodation to enable their clients to move on.
It covers the following areas:
The information contained in this section is drawn from the Move On Plans Protocol (MOPP) pilot recently delivered by Homeless Link with funding from Communities and Local Government.
A toolkit to support local authorities and homelessness providers in addressing move on issues through implementation of the Move On Plans Protocol (MOPP) will shortly be available here. In the meantime please see our MOPP pages on the main site.
