Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔlessness: The plight worsens

The worsening plight of the homeless in England has been revealed in a new report by the charity Shelter. It says the number of people rough sleeping, staying in hostels or temporary accommodation is more than quarter of a million. Since 2010, the number of people sleeping on the streets in England alone has increased by 134 per cent, and more than 100,000 children in England are living with their families in temporary accommodation. Our social affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan has been to one industrial estate in London that is now housing dozens of families.
