Research is telling us that more people are homeless than official figures suggest – but what does this really mean?
The BBC is telling us this:
“The number of homeless people in England is higher than official government data suggests, according to new research from the charity Crisis.
“They say that around 189,000 families and individuals who faced the worst forms of homelessness such as rough sleeping, sofa surfing and living in tents were not included in official statistics.
“Official data is based on people declaring themselves as homeless to a local authority, which Crisis says often does not happen.
