Abstract
Numbers of homeless women with mental health problems have risen dramatically in recent years. Yet hostels may be reluctant or unable to offer them accommodation; staff can feel unsupported and ill-prepared, and relations with statutory mental health services can be strained. CLARE CROFT-WHITE and GEORGIE PARRY-CROOKE report on services for women offered by London direct access hostels, and highlight a number of areas needing action.
