Other than having no home, what is the most common reason for people presenting as homeless? Is it family breakdown, substance misuse or stigma? Other than the bed or the solution, and I hate the term "housing solution" because it seems so made up, and other than a place to stay and a roof over someone's head, what is the reason? Is the Department doing anything to try to get at it from the angle of the reasons people are presenting?
