The Truth About UK Homelessness: It's Not Just About Money and Housing

Subscribe to / @robloak
The number of homeless people in the UK is on the rise, and the government is allocating a significant amount of money to address the problem.
However, providing housing and distributing food, while important, does not address the root cause.
In order to help these individuals live safely and with human dignity, there is an organization that offers assistance right to the street.
This episode has been filmed in 2019.

    It's a thing in the Uk to kick kids out when they're 16 and up.. I worked for years in the YM in Derby.. And couldn't believe the number of kids who were turfed out cause mom's boyfriend didnt want the kids there anymore. It's absolutely appalling that a mother would choose a man over her own child.. But it's scarily common.

    Just a shout out for the tube workers that look after the homeless. They don't chase them out, but keep and eye on them. Here's something to know; if you give food, sanitary products or a warm coat, nlankets or what ever, they pass them on to those who they see night after night. So if you can't tell the real ones in need, just ask them to pass things on. Thank you to the staff of charing Cross Station. You know who you are.

    In the USA, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.

    it'll getting worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.

    Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.

    I think people should also seriously look into investing of some kind. Something that brings money back to your pocket, real estate, stocks, whatever can bring back value to their bank account rather than draining it. Obviously investing has its risks but so does just having money in depreciating assets or straight up liabilities.

    Big house suv. Bruh you got people driving Honda civics, living in a 1 bedroom apartment and not a luxury one at that living paycheck to paycheck. The median rent is 2000. A lot of financial professionals especially the one I work with Samuel Peter Descovich agree that one should not spend more than 30% of their gross income on rent. That means you need to make a minimum of about $80,000. Interesting considering the median income is $54,000.

    Being homeless is not a choice, I’ve been there. Circumstances lead to the inevitable. When you’ve hit rock bottom, being homeless isn’t an issue. There are a lot of professional individuals, like myself, caught in the opinion that whatever happens, it’s up to me to sort it. Unfortunately many cannot sort it alone, and when I say alone I mean completely alone...no family, no friends and no support. No wonder those who live like this find it extremely hard to reintegrate to ‘normal’ society’ Not every homeless person is an addict

For example, whilst helping the homeless where I lived families came for them and pleaded with them (in tears) to come home, face to face and over the phone.... Not just holiday time but daily... Some have been placed in housing but still find themselves on the streets because that it all they know... So yes for some it's a choice for others it's their life

    People tend to focus on the point of becoming homeless to say "no choice". But homelessness doesn't just fall out of the sky. It can sometimes be caused by years of poor choices. Living beyond a person's means instead of saving money for rough times. I see many homeless with thousands of dollars of tattoos. Maybe that wasn't a wise use of money. We don't teach living skills in school. We teach them a bunch of useless crap and send them out to figure out money management on their own.

    The fact that there is already an excessive amount of demand awaiting its absorption, despite how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, is another reason why it is less likely to occur that way. 2008 saw no one, at least not the broad public, making this forecast, as I'll explain below. The ownership rate was noted to have peaked in 2004 in the other comment. Having previously peaked in the second quarter of 2020, we are currently at the median level. Between 2008 and 2012, it dropped by 3%, and by the second quarter of 2020, it had dropped from 68 to 65.

I work full-time and pay rent etc. On time, don't cause a nuisance and make sure everywhere is clean. The housing situation here is madness and without family support to fall back in if you need you are screwed. It breaks my heart to hear stories of homelessness as it doesn't need to be like that.

    That is driven by people in govt. jobs being connected to support EACH OTHERS agenda over solving the problem. In Canada we call them "poverty pimps". New arrivals get bumped to the top of the housing list, as one worker calls in a favour with another govt. employee. I stopped that several times in my moving business. New arrivals then work temp work or under the table, and "qualify" for a full ride, no audit from welfare for at least five years. One reason why I believe in a guaranteed annual income; we can do it with all this new tech. now. And get rid of the poverty pimps jobs and the pig farmers taking advantage.

    Similarly, I have been homeless. Lived in a fairly quiet, out-of-the-way car park for a while. Pretty awful. One set of clothes and a toothbrush. That's all I had. I kept working at my appallingly bad paying job though (£1.50 per hour). I did insist on doing that. Any money was better than none, because I knew that the moment I quit my job the chances of me getting another were slim to nil. I never told my manager I was sleeping rough. Now, I have a sweet, secure little family, nice little cottage, 2 acre garden. All paid off. Staying in work whatever happened was what made the difference - I'm quite sure of it.

    That's exactly what should be happening. All the government needs do is build a few facilities along the lines of Japanese capsule hotels. A bed, a small chair, a light to read by, and most importantly - an address. Thousands could be kept in reasonable comfort and safety in a relatively small area that way. For an extra fee there could be a laundrette, shower block, locker and key facility for bedding and toiletries in the same building - to help pay for the services of wardens. There should also be advice services available through the same facility to get people off drink and drugs, assist runaway children, vulnerable young women, getting the elderly into rest homes. Surely politicians can see there is a distinct 'advantage' in offering basic needs to the homeless - rather than having them laying all over the pavement for the tourists to see, half of them looking close to death already, their belongings littering the pavement, and no doubt thugs bullying them and destroying what little they have. When I worked in London, up until 30 years ago, there were homeless then, yes. But they were relatively far and few between. They certainly didn't occupy streets in 'rows' of tents or sleeping bags like this. You would be unfortunate indeed if you saw as many as '3' homeless people sleeping rough in the same street. It goes to show both how bad things have got and how very little anyone in office cares to do something to remedy the situation. How bad do things have to get before something is done - when the tourists stop showing up? Or when there are an unacceptably embarrassing number of foreign news and KZread articles in circulation to 'shame' the British government?

    I was homeless due not being able to find or afford a place to call home. I spoke to many people who said they preferred to live on the streets so they didn’t have to pay rent or bills and they could buy alcohol, drugs and some could beg as well as get social security. I now have a home I relocated to a rural area and found a place, so it is possible for some to improve their lives. But when organisations feed them and give them clothes they depend on that, so charity causes it’s own problems, I am not saying they do not do good work but some people need to help themselves not just rely on hand outs. Some cannot for one reason or another I understand that, they need the help. I am on an age pension (70) but hard to make ends meet but I do somehow, I look for the best deals at the supermarket and eat what I can afford (not always what I want) but heathy food, I never buy takeaway’s.

There's also 400,000+ international students mostly from India and China who drive down incentives to build affordable housing with local councils (at the pressure of universities) preferring to allow private companies to build expensive student accomodation. The illegals arriving in boats are a miniscule problem compared to the mass legal migration the Tory government have pushed for since Britain's formal departure from the EU.

You can also take them a blanket, many charity shops clean their blankets before selling them even if the person donates saying it’s clean. Also most churches will allow people to leave donations for anyone that needs them and you don’t have to be a parishioner because I not and never have been.

I do sympathise about the giving of money problem because I have the same wariness and I still am not sure if giving money is the solution. If they have a dog with them, the solution is easy. Maybe you could approach one of the street organisations that give out coffee and meals and ask to volunteer with them because they have more experience in the field. That way you'll be teamed up with a helper who knows the right approach.

    I deal with homeless people in Australia and South Africa.The common denominator is mental illness causee by many different reasons and broken family. In South Africa, the shelter I volunteer with accepts users who have the welfare coupon. That's purchaseable, if they have money from the welfare payments, or donated by the locals. The SA homelessness is more complicated with both the White and Black needies. The great thing is the local community are more aware and supoorting in many different ways. It's taking only one year to have the local support as such. The whole economic and social strains are felt by the community and individuals. They are waking up to the deeper spiritual needs.

    Notice virtually all the homeless are the traditional natural inhabitants (caucasians as they were the once majority in UK and Main land Europe). The refugees and illegal migrants that came (and continue to arrive) are FULLY funded by the government for shelter, food and even spending money and prioritised. Citizens that are not refugees are not only NOT fully funded, they will be behind in the priority list. Also the Government will not only NEVER fully fund, but also look for ways to not fund every citizen that should be (by making more stringent laws made to make people fall fall out or not meet the criteria) but the fund in real terms are also decreasing. Can you imagine countries of the Middle east, China or Russia treating their citizens less than foreigners that imposed themselves on the government?

    Before my health failed, I volunteered in a homless night shelter in London and other UK cities. What has always puzzled me, is why homeless people have to be ' referred ' by various government departments for shelter. These include police, job centres, social workers, doctors etc. This referral can only happen between the hours of 9 unti 5. If they find themselves homeless outside these hours, then they cannot find a ed for the night, especially in London. There are very few ' open ' shelters where you can simply turn up and get abed providing they have one free. It was heartbreaking the number of calls we received on a night asking for shelter that we had to turn away. Many of these people had jobs, just not approx £3000 in their bank accounts for rent deposits, 3 months in advance and even outrageous agency fees. These would get up at 4am to start their working day. They simply couldn't afford a simple room. So sad.

This would usually be a GP. Once you are homeless and have no address you can't be registered with a GP practice or be associated with any other professional person . This problem needs to be addressed.

    FNQ's nice and warm, which is the absolute opposite to most of the UK. Even on the ("warmer") South Coast it gets very cold over winter (which is realistically from end October to end March from a temperature viewpoint). Further north, and autumn / winter / spring is cold, especially overnight. Now, add in the cost of living, especially the ballooning energy costs, and Winter 2023-4 is going to be a very bad experience for many, who are already having to choose between food and heating. Even the "reasonably" well off with decent employment are feeling the pinch, sometimes very badly ( "Middle Class" families NEEDING to use Food Banks to get by); The Middle East "problems" may lead to further fuel crises (oil and LNG), right at the start of the Northern Hemisphere colder months. The UK / EU is heading for very hard times indeed.

    Also lying about the conditions. Most people down on their luck seem to have extraordinarily poor luck, they get diagnosed with cancer then their landlord evicts them for no reason, their cat died, their dad's dying or abusive, etc. The litany of woes. I know a few people who keep skirting homelessness. They don't learn from their mistakes. One guy got a bedsit, got a job, was doing OK but then stopped paying his car insurance and got stopped by police, car impounded. Helped him, paid for his insurance. Few months later he had no insurance again because the direct debit failed and he didn't sort it out. Helped him again, next thing I heard he was homeless because his landlord had evicted him "for no reason" and then his car was impounded again. He's been given another bedsit, but now he's talking about giving it up to go live with his "girlfriend" who he had known for about a month. Self inflicted chaos constantly, no interest in paying his bills etc. He always has excuses why things got so bad, why it wasn't his fault, "the bank" stopped the direct debit even though he had the money, the insurance company wouldn't listen and cancelled the policy, the police stopped him because he was giving a lift to someone who turned out to be a crook, etc. Just pure fantasy. Called him out on it, shifty looks but maintained that he wasn't lying about any of it. Said he had to have a car because of work shifts but now he doesn't have one his shift has changed to normal hours but he previously said his employer wouldn't let him do that. Lie after lie.

    If you are an illegal immigrant, came to the UK by boat, you get five star hotel rooms and food etc no security checks, instant five star help! If you are British, unemployed, homeless, or employed but not able to earn enough to rent, you live on the streets which is difficult and cold in wet weather and winter, Some beg for food, some get charities help and support, but no British people get free five star accomodation, food clothing no questions asked! WHY IS THIS SO DIFFERENT FOR BRITS. As for working Brits in a cost of living crisis, their earnings pay for illegal immigrants to get 5 star hotel accomodation for life possibly, so the numbers will keep rising, the working Brits will keep struggling to give these people a free life!

There are whole streets of London houses standing empty like this, you can see it at night, none of them have lights on inside.

    Yes I get that , but their own families don’t want to help or support them , there is a moral decline in British culture. When problems occur they make a choice to turn to drugs and alcohol. Most of the ppl on the streets are violent thieves. I get some have slip the net but I see beggars with dogs. Like if you claim you are poor how do you justify keeping pets. They make a choice. Why do their parents kick their kids out at 18, and why do their children abandon their parents in old ppls homes. Their is no empathy towards their own flesh and blood. The culture is to blame. The family members don’t care about each other just use and exploit each other. Like women choose their boyfriends over their own kids , often the new boyfriend will abuse the kids. It’s disgusting how British culture has deteriorated. Rather than blame immigrants blame the government and blame the culture.

    As a soon-to-be graduate, embarking on a teaching career, the only way I can save enough money to buy a house in the next 10-20 years is by living in the tent from now! Starting at £20K-23K in the Southeast East of England with a projected annual salary to be around £ 45K after 15 years of work (people hated it when the public sector tried to ask for a pay raise) , I don't hope to see much light at the end of the tunnel. After paying student loans, paying rent, transportation and bills, I would have almost nothing left at the end of the month. I hope that they will allow people in a situation like mine to live in a tent to save money; Of course, I understand that if this gets trendy, the landlords will get upset.

The salaries are always rising each year too (Just find a good school and duck around the busybodies/back seat drivers always trying to get you to do too much work. Teach in a way that's meaningful and worthwhile to you). The pensions quite good too and provided you live fairly modestly and don't be too snobby about where you live -you'll be better off than most of your peers. Things even out and are set up to get the middle earners through ok in the end.
