What is the Outcomes Star?

The Outcomes Star for the homelessness sector (referred to as the Star throughout this document) is a tool for supporting and evidencing change when working with adults who are homeless, formerly homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

The Star is an outcomes tool, which means that it enables organisations to measure and summarise change across a range of service users and projects. It is also a keywork tool, which means that it supports the service user in making changes by providing him or her with a map of the journey of change and a way of plotting his or her progress, and planning the actions he or she needs to take.
