In July 2017 the then Home Secretary submitted a letter to the ACMD to commission a programme of work following the publication of the recently published drug strategy. This letter sought advice from the council on how drug-related harms in homeless populations could be reduced.

The ACMD recovery committee’s report explores the risk factors which make homeless people susceptible to substance misuse-related harms, and the evidence for interventions to support these individuals.
