A record number of people are sleeping rough in London,
with charities reporting a spike in street homelessness. Figures show that
3,103 people were found sleeping rough in the capital between July and
September 2018 – the first time the total has exceeded 3,000 in a three-month
period. Charities attributed the surge to a lack of affordable housing. The
data, from the Combined Homelessness and Information Network, shows the number
of rough sleepers has risen by 20% on the previous three months, and by 17%
compared with the same period last year. Read more on the Guardian website.
