"Homeless deaths in the UK have increased by 80% since 2019. But we had a solution | Simon Hattenstone and Daniel Lavelle" The Guardian
"We hoped at the time it would be the start of a concerted, long-term plan to deal with homelessness in general and street homelessness in particular. How naive we were. A few months later the government quietly pulled the plug on the programme. Look around you now, and it’s hard to imagine that rough sleepers were living in hotels only a couple of years ago.
Today, the Museum of Homelessness, which records the annual number of homeless deaths, published its latest findings – and they are horrific. In 2021, 1,286 people experiencing homelessness died in the UK. We are not talking about sofa surfers or those who have secured long-term accommodation in hostels such as the YMCA, the group that forms the vast majority of the estimated 274,000 homeless people in England alone. Instead, we are talking about the most vulnerable people – rough sleepers or people placed in emergency accommodation and other insecure settings."
