flag Housing groups outperform government programs in helping the long-term unemployed, a study finds.

flag A University of East Anglia study finds housing associations and third-sector organizations outperform government programs in helping long-term unemployed individuals in deprived areas. flag The research, based on a five-year EU-funded project in England and France, shows these groups achieve better outcomes by focusing on personal strengths, offering long-term support, and embedding services locally. flag Participants received training and mentoring, with 16% starting businesses, 18% finding jobs, and 7% pursuing further education. flag The study urges policymakers to shift public investment toward adaptable, community-based models that prioritize individual wellbeing and progress over short-term job placement.
