Impact Bond: Greater Manchester Better Outcomes Partnership
Also known as: GMBOP Pathfinder project
Stage of development: Implementation
Jurisdiction: GB
Policy sector: Homelessness
Social challenge: Homelessness in Greater Manchester
Intervention: GMBOP Pathfinder helps young people in Greater Manchester to secure alternative accommodation, or stabilise the current accommodation, through a tailored programme. Once accommodation has been stabilised, the programme supports participants to address other needs, including mental health and financial stability, and to engage in meaningful activity, such as education, social clubs or employment, to build their confidence and resilience. This holistic approach in turn helps to prevent longer term homelessness and enables participants to live independent, fulfilling lives.
