Shelter expects that the numbers #homeless over this #Christmas will be up by around 14% year-on-year (and above 300,000 of which almost half are #children).
Once again, we are seeing the impact of a lack of #socialhousing (as part of the more general #housingcrisis).
If we think we are a civilised country we need to do something about this, not blame the victims, not just hope that charities can pick up the slack, or that if we ignore it, it will go away.
MORE SOCIAL HOUSING IS VITAL!
