Research has been an integral part of Launch Housing’s work since the inception of the former Hanover Welfare Services in 1963.
In 1991, Launch Housing established a dedicated research unit to investigate the issues of homelessness and enable advocacy on behalf of people experiencing homelessness.
Launch Housing's body of research, conducted independently and in partnership with universities, government, and the community sector, has been characterised by seminal pieces of work. Our research covers families and children, employment, education and training, alcohol and drug use, human rights and citizenship, community perceptions and attitudes, and structural drivers of homelessness.
