Abstract

Purpose
– This paper aims to throw light on the value of accommodation and support services and the likely consequences of their withdrawal.

Design/methodology/approach
– Research was completed by a team of researchers from Nottingham Trent and Salford Universities under the Multiple Exclusion Homelessness programme funded by CLG, the Economic and Social Research Council and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.

Findings
– Agencies whose priorities are influenced by other agendas arising from statutory limitations or government targets have conflicting priorities that sustain multiple exclusion homelessness in a number of key circumstances.

Originality/value
– Findings from this research will enable policy‐makers and practitioners to take better account of service user perspectives, experiences and priorities.
