Around 60,000 people in England are classed as having multiple and complex needs, dealing with one or more of the following:
homelessness
emotional or mental health issues
offending
substance or alcohol use
domestic violence
The National Lottery Community Fund’s initiative was set up to help improve services for people in this group. It also aims to reduce the social and economic costs that come from failing to support them properly.
