Abstract
Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.
Multiple Exclusion Homelessness across the United Kingdom, 2010 provides a statistically robust account of the nature and patterns of multiple exclusion homelessness (MEH) across the United Kingdom (UK). People have experienced MEH if they have been 'homeless' (including experience of temporary/unsuitable accommodation as well as sleeping rough) and have also experienced one or more of the following other domains of 'deep social exclusion': 'institutional care' (prison, local authority care, mental health hospitals or wards); 'substance misuse' (drug, alcohol, solvent or gas misuse); or participation in 'street culture activities' (begging, street drinking, 'survival' shoplifting or sex work).
The study involved a 'census' survey of users of 'low threshold' services (such as street outreach teams, drop in services, day centres, direct access accommodation, soup runs etc.) in seven urban locations throughout the UK, followed by extended interviews with a sample of people who had experienced MEH.
