Nothing to do with govt policies such as bedroom tax and other cuts to support as to care and general help too.
Homelessness in the UK in the 21st century should be a National scandal ad it is growing again and has been through this govts time in power.

No one should be homeless,I am sick of visiting towns and seeing closed up building where big stores,shops, cinemas or offices were.
All of which would have plumbing and electricity supply and rather than just be left to falling into decay,could be used to ensure no one needs to sleep rough or have to worry about something to eat.

Often some of the homeless have mental health problems and general health problems too that never get addressed.
It is simply disgraceful and people should just be grateful they are not and will not hopefully ever be in that position themselves but to please show a little compassion and demand govts do a great deal more to protect and help the homeless.

very good post joeysteele. you say it all and so clear. we need more marches and demonstrations.
