Homelessness and public health.
- Abstract:
- The number of people officially recorded as sleeping on the streets of England rose from 1768 in 2010 to 4751 in autumn 2017. Charities estimate the true figure to be more than double this. There has also been an increase in homeless families housed by local authorities in temporary accommodation, rising from 50 000 in 2010 to 78 000 in 2017. And in London alone there are an estimated 225 000 “hidden homeless” people aged 16-25—arranging their own temporary accommodation with friends or family. This rise in homelessness is not confined to the England but has affected most European countries.
