Briefing launched on homelessness trends and projections

Homeless Link, Crisis, St Mungo's and Shelter have produced a briefing explaining how homelessness is defined and measured.

As the impact of the economic downturn and the long term housing shortage take hold, homelessness is beginning to rise.  This briefing paper sets out some of the most up to date figures and recent trends.

You can download the briefing paper (pdf download) that has been sent to all MPs on the Homeless Link website.
