"Two thirds of homeless people cite drug or alcohol use as a reason for first becoming homeless. Those who use drugs are seven times more likely to be homeless.
Being homeless is incredibly stressful. There is also a high prevalence of mental health problems amongst the homeless population. It is not uncommon for those traumatised by homelessness to seek solace in drug or alcohol."
Drug use is a major problem and a contributing factor in homelessness. Saying otherwise is ignorant. We can't hold the SNP accountable when the Tories are unfortunately holding the leash. |
