Tony, who spent three or four months sleeping rough in central London, described his experience as "very horrible". "No time is a good time to be homeless. It's a place that I never want to be again."
Francesca Albanese, director of policy at Crisis, emphasized the crisis: "The need is going up, but it is particularly awful in the weather that we are seeing at the moment."
One homeless man in Victoria expressed his fear concerning the cold: "There could be a chance I could get hypothermia or pneumonia or something like that. We are due to get some horrible, freezing cold weather."
Charities indicated that while the government has put vast resources into combating homelessness, the approach must transition from reactive to proactive measures to truly make a difference.
