There are lots of reasons for people becoming homeless and the roomtax has just added to it, solving the problem will take money, homeless people want a roof over there head a safe place to live a place that gives them an address so can start getting JSA and start rebuilding there life. to do this Councils/Organisations need to buy properies and employ staff ( old hotels student accom ) those sort of places with 24/7 staff to keep residents safe and secure.. thats what is needed but thats not what will happen what will happen is lots of talk lots of we have enought hostels ( we dont ) and another winter when nothink gets done…..to solve homeless you have to spend money ,, but theres no money to spend so no change
Hi Paul thanks for your comments I’ve forwarded them onto Jo Forbes Strategy Manager at the council
