Well there is a homelessness crisis- largely called by increasing numbers of families on the breadline due to the economic situation benefit cuts and the bedroom tax imposed by this ConDem government.
Overall I can see it being a Council priority as they retain responsibility for rehousing vulnerable families and the supply isnt there. Its also particularly hard to break into the private rented sector these days without immaculate credit references and its increasingly diffcult to stay above water on that front.

But there is also an educational supply crisis for the forseeable future and Im disappointed at the Councils unwillingness to engage re views and solutions other than bulge classes here there and everywhere. There are potential cross borough initiatives that can be explored.,

I started my career working for Lewisham Homeless Families then Private Sector Leasing initiatives in the 80s. Its sad that we are now back to placing vulnerable families and individuals in hostels. Homeless people are a very mxed bag- most are average run of the mill folk. Others have more issues. It can be an explosive mix to manage.
