This research shares insights from people who use unregulated drugs and lack stable housing, highlighting the intersection of multiple opportunities for improving health, safety, and well-being. By removing criminalization and replacing the toxic, unregulated market through ‘safe supply’ initiatives, the findings suggest immediate and cost-effective benefits for individuals, communities, not-for-profit, public, and private sectors.
