    Because so many people overpaid for homes even while loan rates were low, I believe there will be a housing catastrophe because these people are in debt. If housing costs continue to drop and, for whatever reason, they can no longer afford the property and it goes into foreclosure, they have no equity since, even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I believe that many individuals will experience this, especially given the impending mass layoffs and rapidly rising living expenses.

    I was 17 and homeless in England. Not rural. In Essex.
    It was over 3 months to get a council supported access to a homeless shelter. Luckily a generous stranger allowed me to stay in their guest room after I made a public post on Facebook.
    We still speak to this day. Luckily, 8 years later I have a degree, corporate job in London and can afford rent and luxuries.
    It's a very tough situation and without the support I got from kind souls - I doubt I would have made it out so quickly or at all.

    I ran away whilst still at school because of sexual and emotional abuse at home. There was no real help, so I barricaded myself into an empty room I found at the local hospital, but sometimes I slept under stairwells in blocks of flats. A lot of bad things happened, then much later in my life I realised that I'd dissociated and had been living in a state of trauma.

      Scarily most people are. Especially women. Some people may have personal items they may be able to sell before becoming homeless (like motorcycles, bikes, car, technology, investments, crypto, etc). If born and raised here the person will more likely have relatives and friends they made along the way. If they are a migrant or have recently moved, they are less likely to have relatives and friends around to assist in times of crisis.

      Regulate landlords any further and the rental crisis will become even more acute. It is the landlord, many who are simply investing their life savings for a better return, who take on the risk when buying and letting a rental property. The Margaret Thatcher era of selling off social housing at a discount seeded the housing crisis we face today. Today's government policy of bowing to pathetic European laws which allow this country to be swamped with illegal economic migrants does not help the current situation. Maybe the government should give financial incentives to those who open their doors to our homeless. After all, if it is good enough for the Ukrainians then why not our own.

    Short-term rentals are the biggest challenge. Investment properties make much more money renting their properties through companies like Airbnb than renting on a monthly basis to a long-term tenant. There are many people buying up multiple properties strictly for that type of income. Limits need to be put in place so more long-term accommodations come on the market.

    Unfortunately this is also happening in Australia too. Families and individuals left homeless, sleeping in tents, in cars, on benches at the park, motels turned into temp homes, it's really heartbreaking. Prior to record house prices here, we never saw people sleeping rough or being homeless, back then homes were affordable and welfare payments weren't severely below the poverty line. Now homes for rent and for sale are so expensive, there's not enough supply, and welfare payments (post covid) are below the poverty line.
    And anyone down on their luck can experience homelessness. I was sick in 2019-2020, and if it wasn't for my brother, I'd be homeless too. Because he was there to catch me, I was able to get better, find a new job, and now able to afford an apartment.

    Im a contractor and work 2-5 weeks on a gig and be tired and sore as hell after. Usually takes me a day to a week depending on how taxing it was to recover.
    Ive listened to be who are/have been homeless both users and non users thatbsaid it took them months to finally feel rested and collected even not involving addiction recovery.
    Alot of the homeless issues are always met with responses like just work more or go get a job or should of handled their money better.......... unfortunately our global economy has allowed vasts groups of people to become without a home or displaced. Now these things are happening to our neighbors and friends and families.
    While every society will always have a drug/addiction problems the decisive effort needs to be getting teenages families and individuals at risk either to themselves or others off the streets and into facilities to house and provide services accordingly.
    These families literally need to eat rest relax and collect their heads and figure out to get back on track.
    This cannot become a multicultural multinational and multigenerational issue becuase of lack of empathy integrity and realizing this could be anyone of us in a matter of time.
    There are many non for profits in the usa that are allowing homeless to get basically a post office box and get mail......in the usa without a legal address or place of residence its almost impossible to take advantage of the social programs for recovery and homeless housing.
    Also its almost impossible for people to apply for most jobs without a physical address.
    I work in sports television and i see millions of dollars wasted and literally thrown away after every game and then i get to walk to my car and pass people who had nothing to eat and sometimes in weather im thanking god inget to get out of for the day,thats the normal across alot of places.
    If governments and politics cant or wont fix this its left to the local communities to brainstorm and figure out what solution makes the most sense ethically morally and financially so it doesn't become a bigger money fraud than it already is in the usa with alot of the government subsidized programs that produce little to no results.
    It was very interesting to see what that convent did and really we just need to make these people feel worth again.

    The council says they'll support rough sleepers. They refer them to a council funded "charity" who will pick them up and offer them a place to sleep.
    They then lock the homeless person into a two year contract where they'll be kicked out if they become employed.
    These charities get paid £1000 a month per homeless resident.

      @@sctsmith yep. Used to live next door to a property that had 5 homeless people living there, where they'd take in £5k for this property alone. They had multiple properties in the town.
      They hire a few minimum wage staff members who would only be able to offer minimal support due to how stretched out they are. There are some absolutely amazing staff members but there were several undesirable ones too (including previous occasions of drug dealing offenses).
      I heard this following story through other residents.
      Someone with known health issues had died in their room. He hadn't been seen in 11 days. A staff member had fraudulently written that he met with him and that he was okay a few days prior. That person still works there.

      It's also true that there are loads of wealthy people living abroad who buy properties in the UK they don't live in or rent out, just purely for investment purposes. Some own whole buildings of apartments or flats they turn into office blocks etc. Sometimes maybe not all the flats are rented out as either domestic living or offices
      This is something the government needs to address, because it loses money here anyway.
      UK born People on the street could be renting these places, because with a address they would get a job more easily, bank account etc and .able to pay tax, buy food, clothes etc to contribute towards the economy.
      Whereas a rich person owning a property working overseas is not contributing any monies here, or only a small portion in the UK from his business abroad etc.

I noticed air bnb was ruining everything where I live as soon as it came online.. I live in a area refered to as "cottage country". Where rent for a 3 bedroom house went from $650 a month to over $2000 a month and now over $3000 a month.. just in ten years. It ALL started with Air bnb. I HATE AIR BNB.
