The number of people sleeping rough in London has risen by almost a fifth, highlighting a systemic failure in addressing homelessness effectively.
Rick Henderson stated the figures "tell a story of a devastating number of people whose lives are damaged by rough sleeping, failed by systems and policies that are not fit for purpose."
Crisis chief executive Matt Downie emphasized the necessity for a coherent, long-term plan, deeming it shameful that so many individuals seek refuge in doorways.
Homeless Link's Rick Henderson called for urgent clarity on the allocation of new funding, stressing that the upward trend in rough sleeping cannot continue.
