Their Glasgow Housing First program, established in 2011, is one of the first in the UK to house people experiencing homelessness and substance abuse issues. The program takes a flexible, person-centered approach to support, allowing clients to maintain their housing even if continuing substance use, and focusing on harm reduction through peer support workers with lived experience. Evaluation found half of clients experienced positive changes to their substance use through the stability of housing and personalized support.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

11. The integrated
„chain approach“
a coordinated, integrated and strategic
approach to each homeless person
to support people progress to the
optimum level of independence and
integration
The “Integrated chain” depends on the
specific local situation
yet many of the realised individual measures
of all participating cities are very similar.
Glocalisation of homeless policies/ May 2006
Benefits for local authorities Page 11
12. Measures needed to realise effective
support for the homeless
•To prevent evictions as many as possible to
avoid the beginning of homeless “careers”
•Effective support for mental ill people
(homeless and non homeless)
•An easy access to affordable flats (e.g.
communal housing) for inhabitants of
transitional hostels
•The offer of unlimited special accommodation
for (former) long time homeless people
Glocalisation of homeless policies/ May 2006
Benefits for local authorities Page 12
13. Obstacles to provide an integrated
“chain approach” I
´Overall´ obstacles
•Lack of central coordination of all policies and services
•No culture of tackling social problems through a
strategic approach
•No (or a limited) innovative attitude among
policymakers and service providers
•The disregard of prevention
•Inflexibility of regulations in services, accommodations,
etc.
Glocalisation of homeless policies/ May 2006
Benefits for local authorities Page 13
14. Obstacles to provide an integrated
“chain approach” II
Target group related obstacles
No integrated, multidisciplinary approach for clients
with a dual diagnosis
No (or poor quality) accommodation for special target
groups
- No or difficult access for homeless to other fields of
society (e.g. labour market)
Those at the ‘bottom of the chain’ are thought not to
fit in a chain model. As a result an integrated chain
approach is not developed at all.
Glocalisation of homeless policies/ May 2006
Benefits for local authorities Page 14
15. Obstacles to provide an integrated
“chain approach” III
Financial obstacles
Cities absorb many homeless people from other
parts of the country without budgets being
transferred.
not enough money to:
1) provide all the (specific) services needed
2) be innovative
Glocalisation of homeless policies/ May 2006
Benefits for local authorities Page 15
16. Common experience
Social planning takes time
success or failure cannot be measured
within one legislative period
results of social experiments are not
foreseeable
The majority of innovative programmes,
takes a highly positive course
Glocalisation of homeless policies/ May 2006

17. Future challenges
Additional members to the WGH, especially from
member states from South and Eastern Europe
Continuous documentation of achievements to
promote transparency and comparability among
the member cities
To refine the model of an “integrated chain
approach” (based on good practices)
Glocalisation of homeless policies/ May 2006
Benefits for local authorities Page 17
18. Active contribution to
National Action Plans
To fil the gap between the local level and the
national and European level in the field of social
inclusion policies
Intention to active contribution to National Action
Plans
The “integrated chain approach” as a local
strategy for social inclusion should be fully
reflected in the future NAPincl

19. Possible partnerships
Search for partners on a European level
Local authoritie´s forum seems possible, if
WGH partnership will continue
Foundation of core (leading) group
Significant added value for municipalities
(e.g. improvement of practical cooperation
between national, regional, and local level)
