Executive Summary


A long way from home: mental distress and long-term homelessness - a Good Practice Briefing (December 2008)
From April to October 2007, Shelter conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 22 people at low-threshold homelessness services in Westminster, Doncaster, Liverpool and Manchester. All service users had experienced long-term homelessness and suffered from mental health problems, from chronic or severe to the more ‘common’ mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, and stress. This briefing collates the key issues raised during the interviews. It identifies good practice for those working with people who have been homeless for a long time and have mental health support needs. The briefing also examines how to prevent long-term homelessness by working effectively with people experiencing mental distress.
