I've posted this tread after a discushion with amother member on.this Board.
Manchester has also made significant progress on reducing rough sleeping, with the city’s A Bed Every Night (ABEN) scheme housing 550 and 600 people in a bed each night. The scheme has helped rates of rough sleeping in the city drop by 67 per cent over four years. Around 350 people moved on from ABEN in the previous quarter, and typically the organisation gets around 100 people per month moving on positively from the service.
Burnham, who donates 15 per cent of his salary to the Great Manchester Mayor's Charity which supports homelessness charities in the city, said solving the issue has been "a big commitment" for the city's leadership.

It shows what can be done - compare Burnhams record with the dire record of Khan in London where rough sleeping has now hit record highs.
Seems to solve the issue of rough sleeping people need to vote out Khan in May.

Seems to solve the issue of rough sleeping people need to vote out Khan in May. I don't know how you can compare Khan to Burnham Khan openly Supported CorbYn over Burnham in the Labour Leadership race and we all know what a distaster that turned out for Labour. Perhaps London is a fine example of Britain run by A Corbyn labour party . Back on the subject of Homelessness and who Should be kicked out the Rural Community should kick out the Conservative government. Rural England has seen a 40% increase in homelessness over the past five years, a British non-profit organization said on Tuesday. The countryside charity CPRE said homelessness in the countryside had increased from 17,212 in 2018 to 24,143 in 2023.26 Dec 2023 |

I have had a health placement in a day centre for the homeless in the 1970s, in Birmingham, the homeleess would congregate there, be fed, in the warm, etc, it would close at 4 or 5. When a bed was offered for the night, many were available, some places empty, very few were interested, they preffered freedom, independence. The call of the wild. There is a pathway to getting there own place, if they want it.

Let's think this through, with all the think tanks, all those highly educated people in office, shock....horror... our homelessness is out of control ... oh hang about I wonder if these illegal migrants are pushing up the numbers .......... duh
Let's put a bunch of infants in charge, let's face it they couldn't do much worse.

As i mentioned elsewhere, Newport sent a team into the streets and housed anyone who wanted to be housed. The council have a number of homeless ‘pods’ and a whole row of studio room prefabs were in recent years assembled in an area formerly a car park at tbe end of the main shopping street.
Between the council the sally ann and a couple of homeless charities we DID manage to clear the streets of the tented rough sleepers last year.
There IS a process of support in this town for those who want it.
But some do not. I’ve no idea why and while my council tax goes into these schemes which have willing participants i really dont have a huge amount of sympathy for those who reject the help on offer

As long as British nationals are at the head of the queue ,I support just about any lawful action to reduce rough sleepers .

Here in London the number of Rough Sleepers last year was just over 10,000 some have mental health issues, some addiction problems drink or drugs or both, some just cannot afford accommodation for the simple reason there is not enough affordable accommodation in London, there is a lack of Social Housing, rent for a modest flat is roughly £2,000 per month.
To buy a modest one bedroomed flat depending on which Borough you are is in the region of £250,000 on top a mortgage high Council Tax Mayor Khan again, plus household bills and travel cost.
London is full

Unless they stay in ‘4 star hotels ‘ they will be housed and of course immigrants would add to the homeless problem if there are not enough houses ….. |

You really think that that less than. 0.1 immigrants a year adds to.the homeless problem.and you. Know that the Asylum seekers are put up 4 star hotel not in housing. Well let's make that a bit more transparent...
In the year ending June 2023, there were 52,530 irregular migrants detected entering the UK , up 17% from the year ending June 2022. 85% of these arrived via small boats
** This government is fast tracking applications to bring the numbers down, but once they are approved they are released in to the communities where they must register for housing and benefits they no longer meet the criteria as an 'Asylum seeker' and therefore those 'legal' rights are taken away from them, they just join the queue and become one of the UK 'homeless'.

Of course it will if they all need homes and even worse if they all are homeless. The cost alone is a budgeted cost that affects all other budgets. Apparently there are nearly 300,000 people homeless in the UK. We are spending at least £25 pound per homeless person per day on illegal migrants and that is just on accommodation, goodness knows what the real cost is if everything is considered. I suspect with the type of money involved then we could solve much of the problem |
