The Outcomes Star is a comprehensive tool for measuring the outcomes of work with homeless people. We recommend its use with homeless people.
It was developed by Triangle Consulting, originally for St Mungo’s, and subsequently widely tested and revised for the London Housing Foundation.
It is used and valued by both funders and service providers. Local authorities are taking a keen interest in the approach and Triangle Consulting has recently facilitated an initiative that was funded by the London Housing Foundation, involving three London Supporting People teams. For the latest information, as it arrives, see Supporting People.
The Outcomes Star Collection guides
The Outcomes Star Collection has been developed to provide agencies with the supporting materials and guidance they need to implement and use the Outcomes Star approach.
If you are considering using the Outcomes Star, we would recommend that you read about
the development of the Outcomes Star.
Other outcomes tools
Soon to be published in this space is a guide to outcomes tools and a list of other outcomes tools relevant for homelessness services, each categorised (e.g. by purpose and client group) and with a brief description. The guide explains the categories of tool and how managers can choose a tool most relevant to their needs and organisation.
