Homelessness has gone up by 55 percent in this country since Cameron arrived in Downing Street. Homelessness went up by 40 percent in London between 2014-15 because of benefit cuts and welfare reforms.
The government have now claimed there are two types of homelessness...genuine homelessness and illegal homelessness. Illegal homelessness will no longer be counted amongst the homeless percentages.
My disabled friend who was housed several flights up in a run down hotel with no lift, was unable to climb the stairs. He told social services that he wasn't able to access his room because of his disability and so they suggested he was making himself intentionally homeless and therefore, taken off the homeless list.
