Study Reveals More Than 300,000 People Are Now Homeless In Britain
More than 300,000 people are now sleeping rough in Britain after the number of people losing their homes soared in the last year, a study, by the housing charity Shelter has revealed.
The study found that 307,000, or one in every 200, people are now homeless.
Shelter highlighted how local authorities are struggling to find affordable homes for people they have a statutory obligation to help, adding that more than a third of those currently living in temporary accommodation will still be homeless in a year’s time.
Although the figure has risen by 13,000 in the last year alone, Shelter said the partial nature of government data means the real number of homeless people is likely to be even higher.
The problem is most acute in the borough of Newham, where one in every 25 people is homeless. The boroughs of Haringey (one in 29), Westminster (one in 31) and Enfield (one in 33) follow not far behind.
