Details

The Changing Futures programme aims to improve outcomes for adults experiencing multiple disadvantage – including combinations of homelessness, substance misuse, mental ill health, domestic abuse and contact with the criminal justice system.  

From April 2026, a new 3-year phase of the programme will target 18 of the most deprived areas of the country, bringing together local partnerships across heath, social care, substance misuse, housing, police, criminal justice and voluntary sectors to help people with the most complex problems regain control over their lives with the right support at the right time.

Details on how the funding for this new phase has been distributed is set out in the document above.
