Last year there was a 27% increase in the number of people rough sleeping with 3,898 sleeping rough in England alone, but it doesn't need to be this way.
The Salvation Army knows from our own work the lifechanging impact shelter and support services can have on the life of someone experiencing rough sleeping
Providing shelter is vital but without specialised support to address the reason a person is sleeping rough, such as addiction or poor mental health, they could end up back on the streets.
We're calling for a change in the law so all those forced into rough sleeping are prioritised for the help they need to escape living on the streets and end rough sleeping once and for all.
