Housing crisis
A census in October last year estimated that, in England, around 4000 people were sleeping rough each night. That’s a large number but only a small proportion of England’s 57 million population. Rough sleepers, however, are hugely outnumbered by people without homes. Here the figure is 113 000 households, including 150 000 children. A discussion of the causes contributing to the housing crisis currently affecting many areas of the UK makes the point that housing should be thought of as an essential service, not unlike the health service, rather than a commodity to be bought and sold (https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/n13/james-meek/market-forces-and-malpractice).
