Abstract
This paper reports on a survey of applications for shelter made to local authority, probation and voluntary sector agencies — the intermediate sector — by homeless individuals in Nottingham, England. It analyses the characteristics of demand for accommodation and models the supply response on the part of accommodating agencies. The problems of the generalised excess demand identified are shown to be irresolvable within the capacities of the intermediate sector itself.Keywords
