abstract = "This chapter explores the often controversial and often distorted picture of the interrelationship between homelessness and complex needs, focusing on the ways in which ideological imagery and quasi-fictional narratives have influenced strategic and service responses to homelessness. This chapter also explores the ways in which these images and narratives have gradually been replaced by more robust, data- driven understanding of homelessness, which has led to an innovative and effective practice in the form of integrated, housing-led service models and strategies.",
