Homelessness continues to grow:
* An estimated 326,000 people, most of them families with children, are in temporary accommodation in England, a 17% rise in one year.
* About 3,900 people are sleeping rough on any given night, a 10% increase.
* There are a further 16,600 single people in hostels or other homeless accommodation.
As I've said before; we should judge ourselves by how we treat the most vulnerable in society... and its not good!
