"Problem families who cause misery in their communities could be saved from eviction by a programme of intensive support, figures showed. Research into the scheme showed that in 85% of cases it had reduced anti-social behaviour to a level where tenancies were no longer at risk.
Intervention in these cases cost a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of pounds that would need to be spent overall on evicting each family."
