ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We would like to begin by thanking the local authorities and RSLs that assisted with this research by completing a survey. Our thanks also go to all those representatives of housing organisations, professional bodies, voluntary sector organisations and the Scottish Government who agreed to be interviewed. We would also like to thank the members of the Research Advisory Group for all their time and assistance.
Given that we are not identifying the case studies within the report are unable to thank key organisations and individuals by name. Nevertheless, without the considerable help of numerous people this research could not have been undertaken. So our special thanks go to the staff and management of the local authorities and RSLs that participated as case studies and that gave so freely and patiently of their time, despite the pressures of delivering frontline services. We would also like to thank all of the formerly homeless households who agreed to share their experiences with us.
Finally, our thanks go to Anna Donald from the Homelessness Team and to Lisa Taylor from the Housing Research Team at the Scottish Government. Their professionalism, good humour and sound advice has been much appreciated by the Craigforth team.
