Organisation: ODPM
Abstract: The growth in the size of the legacy fund transferred to Supporting People from Transitional Housing Benefit substantially exceeded all official estimates. ODPM commissioned this study to review factors that contributed to the large variation between the estimates and the final size of the THB grant. The study focused on the period from 2000 to 2003, in which the Transitional Housing Benefit Scheme was in place. The research took place between June and December 2003.
This report is often referred to as the Matrix Report and sets the context under which the Scottish review is being carried out.
