LONDON - Oscar-winning British actor Helen Mirren has hit out against the “exponential rise in homelessness” as she prepared to sleep out in central London on Saturday as part of a global charity appeal to fight the scourge.
“What’s disturbing, profoundly, to me is the exponential rise in homelessness that I’ve noticed ... in every city in Los Angeles, in New York, in London,” she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. “There are thousands of people sleeping on our streets ... and tens of thousands of families – including 135,000 children – trapped in temporary accommodation,” said Polly Neate, head of British homelessness charity Shelter, who called the crisis a “national emergency”.
The global sleep-out event, which is organized by Scottish social enterprise Social Bite, among others, has been criticized by some as giving an unrealistic representation of homelessness.
