Stop the Scandal: an investigation into mental health and rough sleeping – executive summary

It’s not right that anyone should be without a home, and it’s nothing short of a scandal that people with mental health problems are stuck sleeping rough.

St Mungo’s has investigated the issue of mental health and rough sleeping to improve our understanding of the problem and propose some solutions. Our research is based on analysis of data on people sleeping rough, a national street outreach survey, and interviews with homelessness and mental health professionals.
