Britain has the worst record on homelessness globally, with the highest rate of homelessness among developed countries. Data shows a surge in homelessness since 2010, with one in every 200 households in emergency lodging. Experts emphasize the urgent need to address this crisis by building more affordable housing.
I’m waiting for a study from @ucsfbhhi on the lethal role fentanyl plays in the deaths of homeless people, most who come from out of town to partake in open drug bazaars allowed to flourish by “leaders.” @LondonBreed in office a decade. @AaronPeskin two decades. Time for change. https://t.co/aEWRX9IjiT
One of the most shocking graphs of recent days. @jburnmurdoch at @FT on homelessness in UK (disguised) and in USA (in open) Via Chartbook Top Links Newsletter https://t.co/aRYAgE3C4h https://t.co/hXVdHFzWCX
Why does Britain have the highest rate of homelessness in the developed world, by far? Because for decades we have not built anywhere near enough homes that people on low incomes can afford to rent. And the last decade has been worst of all. #BuildSocialHousing #VoteForHome https://t.co/Tu09JlUk51
Among developed countries, Britain ranks first in the number of homeless people. https://t.co/vCp7cnv789
Thanks, @L_Villandry, for having me as a guest. It's time for us to be honest about homelessness. It's a drug problem as much as it is a housing problem. https://t.co/FrJWVp3sQw
TIL if Britain was a US state it would be tied with NY for having the highest rate of homelessness in the nation (~52 per 10k). Like NY and other high-homelessness states, the UK should build more housing. https://t.co/jv4g3LLNjM

A shocking table from @FT showing Britain has by far the highest rate of homelessness in the developed world. There is more wealth in our country than ever before and yet living standards fall for the majority and destitution explodes. We need a new economic settlement. https://t.co/5zENJiRNrU

Britain has more homeless people than other countries: @jburnmurdoch on exceptional form today: clear about facts, clear about causes, clear about implications. Read it and weep, better still read it and remember it when you vote later this year. https://t.co/VRI3EJhTXG
