support with mental health, drug and alcohol and substance misuse and specialist healthcare services. For these services, people are referred in lots of different ways. People can refer themselves to some of these services. Others are referred by health services like GPs or hospitals, by housing services, by other public sector services like police and probation or by other providers. Between 1 April and 30 June 2016 these services supported 3031 people. We currently commission eight organisations to provide these services. Homeless services We currently £2.6m a year on these services. They provide accommodation and support for adults who are homeless. These services currently include three direct access hostels to support people who might otherwise be homeless. People can access these services themselves or be referred by other services. We also fund hostels that can offer people accommodation and support for up to two years. District councils and other agencies refer people to these services and they are also used for people moving on from direct access hostels.
