In this article, we present the findings of a Home Office funded project on young homeless people and drug use. Our particular focus is on the 27 young homeless people we identified as problem drug users. We have grounded our discussion in their experiences and we use their stories to reflect critically on drug service provision for this group. The strongest message emerging from their accounts is the need for dedicated and appropriate drug service provision for homeless young people, which addresses their drug use within the context of the many other difficulties they face.
