I agree with you

The experts are just regurgitating information, the homeless are speaking from experience

I was diagnosed as being a victim of childhood neglect thanks to being raised in care during the 80s. I've been in and out of homelessness all my adult life. I've never been helped by authorities until the government pandemic. I'm allegedly housed now, but it's so bad, I've accepted I have to go back on the streets or commit suicide. The system is pure evil, I've seen it with my own eyes multiple times throughout my life. I thought social housing was for folk like me, no family, no qualifications, no future. It's become extremely obvious I'm not welcome in my own country. Like I said, it's pure evil because I'm not allowed to live outdoors as that's basically illegal. At the moment I'm being drugged by doctor in order to sleep through the noise from within property I live. Being dead looks better than the so called help from authorities. My only crime is being born.

I know the sort of feelings you get after being labelled as not fitting in or undesirable. I have worked in the homelessness and the only satisfied 'clients' are the ones who have educated themselves on what a realiatic outcome might be. Its really rough and getting a worse. 5 years ago i became homeleas ,my landlord got put away. I couldnt face what I knew was ahead of me . I knew even if I managed to get up each step in the route to access (and I had serious doubts I could cope in a hostel) After all that I would get a bedsit possibly 1 bed fkat 25 floors up or in a real messed up area. I decided to squat and live at odds with the rest of society. Squatting and working wirh street homeleaa was very hard . I was living with the same kind of people and problems I was helping at work. I lost the job but I was still feelng better off bc i was with a group of people who were my mate and we look after each otner ...which is one of the beat things ever.

Once I had the misfortune of Being homeless I had two choices either a city park bench or a tent in the woods I chose the woods I had to be clever to survive a good example was when winter was right around the corner I needed to find a way to keep my tent warm I scavenged the woods around me looking for something I could use to heat my tent I got lucky I found a few iron pipes in some junk thrown over a hill and the iron pipes where exactly what I needed to heat my tent I already had a shallow fire pit about 6 ft from my tent so I dug a few trenches from the bottom of the fire pit to underneath where my tent was going to be I laid the iron pipe in the trenches and packed clay over the pipes outside inside I covered the pipes with river pebbles I set the tent back up and I made a rope frame over the tent to support sleeping bags and tarps when I started a fire in the fire pit the iron pipes got hot and I had radiant heat coming through the tent floor the bigger the fire the more heat I got and even when the fire went out the pipes would stay hot for a while longer I never had a cold day or night after that

Ingenious 👏👏👏 I've been homeless and lived rough. You do what you have to do for the basics which are food, clothing and shelter. It's amazing how resourceful you can be when it's a matter of survival. You don't have to go full on feral or resort to major criminal activity although l did resort to some acts of petty thievery when times got really really desperate. Thankfully that wasn't very often and didn't directly result in physical harm to other individuals. Being homeless doesn't mean you lose all ability to be resourceful.

If a person is left alone without purpose or hope and no social support, unneeded, why live? There are needs more important than housing.

I live in a block of flats in the UK. There's homeless people who sleep outside at the rear of the flats every night. They make alot of noise,and they take drugs and fight. They poo and wee just outside my bedroom window. I'm not criticising them. I'm just telling you what they do. If I give them money,they spend it on drugs. If I take my rubbish bags out to bin,they shout swear and ask me to give them more money. When I tell people all this,they think I'm a bad person because I criticising them. But I'm not criticising them. All this is what they do outside my flat. And I'm supposed to feel sorry for them? I'm supposed to feel empathy? You'll be surprised how quickly people's opinions change when it's their door step the homeless are sleeping on,weeing on,pooing on! If you feel sorry for them,go out and find one and let him sleep on your doorstep for a few nights!!!

If goverment were to actually do its job or providing conditions for people to succeed, it would be no homelessness and also no need for big goverment. So why would they want that. This way they make a profit from homelessness and make themselves needed. The more people depend on welfare and social programs the more politicians have power and make money. And they make backroom deal with companies that build housing, provide various social services etc. Its a big business. You remove goverment or have one that is small and only works on creating conditions for people to succeed, and you would have virtually no homelessness. As long as people think goverment is the answer to the problem, the goverment has all the incentive in the world to keep the problem alive, because it keeps them in power.

'intentionally homeless' what a joke.

When you leave people homeless longterm, criminal behavioyr inevitably follows because it becomes a fight for survival for them. So more social support is the answer.

The problem is being homeless, and JOBLESS. They go hand in hand. I have been jobless a couple of times in my life, but I have my own home. That was my base camp from which I set out looking for permanent or temporary sustenance. The US education system ought to teach the kids how to own a home and keep it. The American way is never to hope for things to be easy, but to make things happen. The homeless shouldn't expect things to be made easier for them. Go get 'em, and no buts. People are coming in from the southern border, and they aren't saying but.....

Brilliant performance ❤

Its not the problem. Just a direct consequence of runaway greed and government corruption.

This is so rong very sad god bless them

A problem with homelessness, - but hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees given homes and places to stay immediately on arrival, including, but not exclusive to, four star hotels and free six bedroomed houses to Indians. It doesn't wash with me I'm afraid, there are hundreds of office blocks purchased by Councils for investment purposes, paid for by taxpayers money, left empty, only to loose value - when they could have been converted into self catering units for the homeless. Not to mention the millions of pounds being funelled into offshore accounts. We can spend money on Wars, we can spend money on immigrants, but we cannot provide good quality low cost accomodation for our own under privilidged. - Baffling and mind-boggling in the same breath. - Change is coming.

Going from being rich and educated and having a well-paying job to homeless within a few months after losing a job is mindboggling to me! Do these people never plan and budget for more than 1 week? I can see why poor people with very low qualification and thus low pay and not much spare money for saving some, can get homeless after just a few months when losing a flipping-burgers-job, but HOW do qualified and well-paid people do this?

The increase in Rent is more than 2 peoples Incomes. I don't understand how people whom own private property can continue on this upward Trent. They may end up Bankrupt with no tenants. They do not have money to upkeep the property either.

DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS: Nothing but DRUGS

Academic waffle get rid of deadwood in councils use moneyto help homeless theres lots could be done.

Everyone applauds the UK/ EUROPEAN system and trashes the USA system. The main difference in the USA is that we have the worst, the average and the best in the world. You just have to fight for it or choose how bad you want it. People have moved from NY to FL and lived in trailer homes for $200.00 a month in rent. Even at $7.00 an hour most people in the USA could afford that … even if it meant going out and collecting tin cans at $0.05 per can. (Also, Catholic charities can give you one time help of $1,000.00-$2,500 to buy that trailer. Or the thousands of other not for profits). And you can choose to climb up from that. Or take a $60,000.00 job - no education, no training and do one of those oil jobs. If you are willing to part from the USA or your family and temporarily leave the country - and the $60,000.00 is tax free!! It depends on how bad you want something in the USA. If you are willing to move to another state, stop abusing alcohol, stop abusing drugs, ask your 15 year old kids to help out by getting a part time job. Moving to a college that has free day care at the college. The private system in the USA seems much better than UK or Europe. But you must make sacrifices and learn about all of these programs on your own. But thanks to the internet, this is a bit easier. It is also easier to find housing in the USA and people willing to take in foreigners - something private English and Europeans won’t do as readily as in the USA. Most citizens don’t care if you are a citizen; as long as your money is green in the USA. In Europe and in England it is the EXACT OPPOSITE. Even if you come from a wealthy nation and are White, it is hard to get a citizen to lease you a flat. So the USA has the worst in the developed world, but we also have average and the best in the world. We have quadruple the number of non profits in Europe and the UK, the hardest part is finding out about them and the willingness to do what is necessary. When I saw that some places in the UK only give out emergency food 3 times in a year to people … I was like WTF!! In the USA most people get a MINIMUM of 12 times a year!!! And even if you cannot prove you are in need, most churches give you food two months before they insist you bring proof. I saw these videos of people jumping through hoops to get a voucher BEFORE even being allowed to go to the church in the first place. In the USA, you just show up at the church/ food pantry.

do these program/ government people actually think it's ok for homeless to beg and drink in public??? how is that fair to hard working people trying to get to work, shop, visiting eateries,etc- we won't bring up the safety and crime, threatening people for money, or the health issues like exposing residents and renters to their diseases infected poo on the streets, stairs. It's very simple, don't break the laws and you won't get in trouble, and won't lose your apartment. It's about being responsible.
