The Places for People OTIS Report evaluated a 10 month occupational therapy intervention service (OTIS) that was provided to residents in emergency hostel accommodation in Bristol, run by the third sector organisation, ‘Places for People’.
The report identified that occupational therapy provides an alternative person-centred and holistic perspective on the complex needs of homeless people. Useful lessons were learnt regarding the structure and set up of occupational therapy services across multiple hostel locations and regarding collaborative working.
