A new study on the first modular mini-homes in England created for those experiencing homelessness has found that – combined with “wraparound support” – these small, inexpensive units made from factory-built components help to restore the health, relationships and finances of residents.
Our researchers have been working with Jimmy's Cambridge and the Max-Cam Centre at the University of Cambridge to investigate the effectiveness of housing a group (including long-term rough sleepers) in six modular homes. Our latest report evaluates the residents' experiences twelve months after moving into the 'mods'. Read the report here.
