Braverman’s words are a throwback to the pre-2010s when the Tories were seen as the 'nasty party'
For over a decade now I have been travelling around Britain reporting on the housing crisis. Along the way, I’ve spoken to people who have no secure home, as well as those trying to help them, and I’ve learnt that there are lots of reasons why people end up experiencing homelessness.
There are currently more than one million households waiting for social housing in England alone, a record number of homeless households – 104,510 – are living in temporary accommodation such as hostels or b&bs,There used to be shelters but these are steadily closing because they can’t afford to stay open.
The Home Secretary has peddled a victim-blaming Dickensian stereotype that anyone experiencing homelessness is an indigent person who chooses a life outside of society. The truth is that all of the evidence tells us that, while addiction or complex needs can create a fast track to destitution, they are often symptoms of sleeping on the street, rather than merely causes of it. To become homeless is to be thrown into a vicious circle that is very difficult to break.A change in circumstances such as a relationship breakdown, losing a job, mental and physical health problems, or addiction can put a person under serious strain.
