If we can help now, why haven’t we before? X
This is true. It’s a resources issue here too. Our local authority need to do more.It's a good question and I believe they (because we have no power unfortunately) haven't helped homeless people before, because Countries don't have a lot of resources so they have paid attention to other issues and other social classes. In my opinion a Country should try to help everyone, but I know It's quite difficult.
True though sadly.Being cynical not many helped before because most didn't care and now we are helping because nobody wants them on the streets due to covid.
Do you know on every council property list they have between 5 and 10 properties set aside for homeless people ,the police or local street angels can refer the people but its upto the homeless person to accept whether to take the property or notIf I'm honest I feel it's because in normal times homelessness just sent seen as a priority, otherwise councils would be given the powers and funding to build more council houses.
We have the exact issue here and it's become worse. Sadly migrants do it which means you can never be so certain of what's what. They're not the only ones who do it, but are the complete majority by a mile.I agree with all the above..in Bristol though not all you see is not always the truth? There’s some who work with other.. of so called “homeless” gangs who get dropped off in the mornings and picked up in the afternoon by the head of the gang,who raked thousands of pounds,who are exploiting the genuine homeless people,most now offer to buy them food instead of money??which will sort out the real needy people,who are down on their luck??i think greggs do things you can buy for the needy❤
Which way do you mean? As in if they had more votes to gain from it?I would guess that the reason the government don't do more is because there are not enough votes in it..

When the crisis is over and social distancing rules are relaxed what will happen to those people who have started to take baby steps on their road to recovery and a better life?When hotels want their rooms back and people return to a new version of normality will the people in those rooms be...stmartinshousing.org.uk

But many just don’t seem to want to be helped and do everything in their power to make it impossible to help them.
