The majority of councils in England are struggling to
find permanent housing for homeless people, a new report from Crisis and the
Joseph Rowntree Foundation has revealed. Out of 186 councils surveyed 70% said
they had difficulties finding social housing for homeless people last year,
while 89% reported struggling to find private rented accommodation. The problem
of rising homelessness is not limited to London, with only 40% of councils in
London reporting the number of people seeking help had risen during the past
year compared with 76% in the Midlands, 70% in the south and 62% in the north.
