About
Ministry of Justice awarded a contract to National Centre for Social Research for the evaluation of an early legal advice pilot.
The pilot tested whether providing early legal advice on debt, housing, and welfare benefits could promote early resolution of housing problems and prevent escalation into eviction, possession, or homelessness, with the aim of reducing wider government costs.
The evaluation was conducted across two sites to assess implementation, impacts, and the economic case for wider adoption, providing a detailed business case for evidence-based policy decisions.
The contract value was £1,235,300.
