THE government’s immigration policies and Brexit are pushing more non-British citizens onto the streets, a charity for homeless people warned today as it prepares to launch a new campaign on the issue. 

Speaking at a Labour conference fringe event hosted by left-wing think tank the Institute for Public Policy Research, Crisis stressed that homelessness cannot be tackled without ending rough sleeping among overseas citizens. 

In areas such as London, people born outside Britain make up more than half of the homeless population.
