Government could prevent 60,000 from homelessness if it takes bold action, research suggests
Crisis warns that without a concerted effort by ministers, England could see a 90% rise in rough sleeping over the next decade
THE government could prevent 60,000 families and individuals being driven into homelessness if it takes bold action over the next 10 years, new research suggests.
Charity Crisis has warned that without a concerted effort by ministers, England could see a 22 per cent rise in total homelessness and a 90 per cent rise in rough sleeping over the next decade.
There are already over 200,000 families and individuals without a home this Christmas in England, according to figures published earlier this month by the charity.
