Many services will not work with higher needs

Many services will not work with higher needs/higher risk vulnerabilities, but they don't meet statutory criteria. Putting individuals and communities at risk of harm. 

Statutory services only work with substantial needs

Statutory services only work with critical/substantial clients. Many vulnerable people do not seem to meet this criteria. Funding cuts and reduced non-statutory services mean there is nowhere for those people to go.

Homeless people having higher needs/demands
