This report summarises the work of the cross-government Ministerial Working Group on Homelessness since its inception in 2010 and also looks at what still needs to be achieved in relation to homeless people with complex or multiple support needs. It outlines the specific needs of homeless people with overlapping mental health, offending or substance misuses problems and the estimated costs associated with meeting these needs. It then sets out a new approach to delivering services for homeless people with complex needs. This includes locally-led commissioning of services, giving the voluntary sector a key role in working with those with complex needs, and the use of payment by results and social investment. The final chapter presents a set of call for evidence questions to those working in the sector. (Edited publisher abstract)

The Development Department of the Scottish Executive commissioned this literature review to inform its Multiple and Complex Needs Initiative which aims to improve services for people with multiple and complex needs. The purpose of the literature review was to collate and evaluate existing research evidence to understand the processes through which people with multiple and complex needs engage, or do not engage, with services to resolve their problems. A key focus of the review was to identify good practice in the light of the evidence. The main lessons learned from the review are highlighted and good practice case studies are presented.

The aim of this research was to review the evidence from the research literature on service provision for people with multiple and complex needs. Five key objectives of the literature review were: to examine definitions of ‘multiple and complex needs’ and to identify client groups who are identified as having these needs; to explore people’s awareness of services and options; to explore factors affecting access to services; to examine service users’ experiences; and to identify best practice in service provision and lessons for implementation. Before conducting literature searches 15 key informants were consulted, and, during the project, a focus group was conducted with research and policy staff within the Scottish Executive in March 2006.
