Social housing and homelessness

Research and data for better social housing and an end to homelessness.

Alkat Research and Resourcing helps organisations in health and social care understand social housing and homelessness through reliable data and clear evidence. We currently focus on Cambridgeshire.

Housing and health

A safe, stable home is one of the foundations of good health.

That is why we believe better evidence on housing and homelessness leads to better care, better services and better lives.
