STATEMENT from #HomelessTaskforce @LGBTIQoutside @our_MoH Streets Kitchen Simon Community Street Storage Re the increase in rough sleeping reported this week

In all the years of covering rough sleeping, I’ve never seen anything like I saw last week. #homeless ⁦BBC News (UK)⁩

🚨DRUG ALERT There appears to be a bad hatch of #heroin circulating in the #Camden area again, cut with #fentanyl. We now know of a woman who died due to this near Kings Cross Station 🚨Integrated Drug and Alcohol Service, Camden advice for anyone who uses drugs can be found here: changegrowlive.org/drugs-contamin…

Let's make it clear: living on the streets is not a ‘lifestyle choice’ - it is a sign of failed government policy. No one should be punished for being homeless. Criminalising people for sleeping in tents, and making it an offence for charities to help them, is unacceptable.

Sleeping on the streets is NOT a lifestyle choice. We don’t have nearly enough affordable homes, rents are soaring and this is leaving people destitute and forced to sleep rough. This is a consequence of poverty. And poverty in this country has been exacerbated by policy choices

We’re horrified to hear the Home Secretary describe sleeping rough as a “lifestyle choice,” while it’s her department’s policies that are pushing people onto the streets🧵 theguardian.com/society/2023/n…

🧵 We are dealing with increasing numbers of out-of-London PRS homeless offers to increasingly distant locations. A short thread on how our advice to homeless families when dealing with these offers has evolved.

🚨 BREAKING: 1 in 10 private renters are at risk of losing their homes this winter. 🚨 That's equivalent to 814,000 adults - or 1.1million people including children in the household. 📈 Rocketing rents and rising evictions are leaving renters in turmoil. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

🚨 #SWEP has been activated from today in #London Please contact your local council to find out what the local provisions are 🤞

🎄 24 days, 24 charities. On day 13, we are donating to NLAH – a Hackney based charity helping homeless people, the socially isolated and those in financial hardship for over 30 years with healthy food and services. #ChristmasDonation #AdventCalendar #Charity
