They discuss the real causes of homelessness being in the lack of social and affordable housing. They ask why record levels of homelessness are still not treated as an emergency by the Government? They also delve into the mental health impacts of being in homelessness, and the work being done by Mendicity empowering those in homelessness through supporting services and social enterprise.
