| Abstract | > > Abstract_ This article aims to describe and examine a Housing Led experiment launched in Italy – the Rolling Stones project. The defining features of the Rolling Stones project include its community-oriented approach, among other features, that make it an innovative approach to housing homeless people. The project is also noteworthy on account of the fact that it provides educational support, and less structured assistance and therapy to those with complex needs. This article describes the economic benefits of such a project, both in terms of the financial costs of homeless services, and the costs of alternative forms of assistance. Moreover, a series of evaluations has been conducted, assessing both the effectiveness of the project and the perceptions and experiences of project users. These perceptions and experiences were then compared with the perspective of the staff running the project. The life skills acquired by individuals housed were assessed, along with their degree of satisfaction with their new housing. The results of these initial evaluations, together with the economic benefits of such a project, indicate the effectiveness and importance of the approach, albeit while the project is still in its initial stages. |
