Drugs and Housing is the main
resource in the UK for drugs workers and housing agencies. It provides
a comprehensive and indispensable set of resources for professionals addressing
the dual issues of housing need and substance use.
Drugs and Housing explores and documents issues relevant to agencies working
with people with drug and housing issues. The site looks at legal aspects
of the work, policy and practice issues, funding strategies, move-on issues
and highlights innovation in other projects.
Drugs and Housing is part of the KFx project, and was set up by Kevin Flemen. Much of the content of the site is mirrored on the KFX website at www.kfx.org.uk. As the KFx website had grown, and covered a range of subjects beyond housing, it seemed useful to offer a pared down site dedicated to Drugs and Housing.
