This research considers a range of support service models intended to help prevent homelessness, or to resolve homelessness when it does occur, in rural and remote rural areas. The research looks at both the content and means of delivery of such support services and also extends to give attention to the provision of temporary accommodation, training, counselling and help with addiction related problems and other personal support and activities. Although there are many potential models of support services for homeless households, their applicability to the diverse range of circumstances that exist in the rural and remote areas of Scotland requires close examination. Furthermore, there are examples of more generic services that already operate in rural and remote areas that are not related to support for homeless households, but the underlying principles that make such services work effectively in the rural context may have the potential for replication in meeting the support needs of homeless households or people at risk of homelessness in these areas.
