‘Homelessness is a political choice’ lights up Parliament as new charter for government launched

MESSAGES from those who have experienced homelessness lit up Parliament as politicians returned from summer recess on Monday.
Amnesty UK and homelessness charity Groundswell orchestrated the action, which comes following the launch of their new charter, Ending Homelessness Together — Our Voice, Our Rights.
The charter was developed in partnership with those with lived experience of homelessness and aims to ensure policymakers hear their views and priorities.
