To investigate the scale of the problem, Crisis recently sent undercover researchers to 16 councils across England to test the support that is offered to homeless people. In 50 out of 87 council visits, they received little or no help at all. Across the country, this is likely to mean thousands of homeless people are asking for help and getting nothing.
In response, Crisis has launched No One Turned Away, a campaign calling for politicians to review the help single homeless people in England get under the law, so no one is forced to sleep rough.
To support the campaign, please sign the petition on the right of this page.
