At Turning Point Scotland, we believe that homelessness can and should be prevented whenever possible and when it does occur, it should be as brief as possible and an unrepeated experience.

Now we’re another year on, and more lives have been lost. It would be easy to say we need a new approach, but we disagree. We have a great approach on paper, but we have not delivered it.

Multiple disadvantage is often the result of experiences like poverty, trauma, discrimination. The partnership is testing how to create cross-sector, integrated services in 4 areas to inform a national blueprint for joined-up service delivery. Read our briefing: homelessnetwork.scot/no-wrong-door/

Services set up to address 'single' issues don't work for people experiencing multiple challenges including homelessness, substance use and poor mental health.

No Wrong Door Scotland is testing ways to change that. πŸ“Ί Watch a 3min film explaining the issue and the project: vimeo.com/1009403599?s...
