referred by Rochdale Borough wide
Housing
(b) During the period of the pilot,
Shelter Inclusion Project operated a
broad referral policy. The main criteria
for referral were that: -households
were homeless or faced homelessness
in the near future -households had
a history of antisocial behaviour -
households were willing to engage with
the service.
