Homelessness: Rough sleeping up more than a quarter in a year - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/uk-647425…

The Bristol Homelessness Forum on Thursday will include a session led by Caring in Bristol and a presentation from Black SW Network.

Homelessness is a lifestyle choice? I've been homeless twice in my life. As a young care leaver at 16 years old and again in my 20s when I was suffering with my mental health. I never chose to live on the streets. Hundreds of young people from 18 upwards are fighting for places

Our sector has immediately come together to tell Suella Braverman MP that her plans are reckless and wrong. We urge a change of approach.

I'm pleased that the evacuation of residents is underway - we will continue to look after everyone while carrying out a full survey of Barton House The safety of #Bristol residents is our highest priority

💥LHA has been uplifted💥 We are pleased the Chancellor has finally listened to the homelessness sector and uplifted the LHA rate. It will give people on low income more breathing space, allowing them to access more affordable housing options while helping prevent homelessness.
