AnnotationThis article draws on preliminary findings from a two-year exploratory study to describe how different agencies and professionals work together to identify and manage the intersections between homelessness and other facets of deep social exclusion. The authors assess the extent to which current practice is informed by policy frameworks for `personalised and integrated care planning' focusing in particular on the `coordinating' and `sign-posting' role of the housing support worker. The study concludes with some initial thoughts as to how policy and practice might be strengthened in this area to ensure more `joined-up' and continuous support for people with experience of multiple exclusion homelessness.
