Description

The project focuses on those individuals and families who are not integrated into formal mental health services yet whose behaviour places them at risk of eviction and creates significant problems for other tenants and residents. It places special emphasis on the distribution of resources and best available practices in order to recommend effective practice within existing budgetary constraints.
