£3 Billion Spent Keeping Asylum Seekers in Hotels While Homeless Brits Die on the Streets

In the UK, we spend £3 billion keeping asylum seekers in hotels, while homeless Brits live — and some die — on the streets. It’s really screwed up. We have a system where local authorities are supposed to house homeless people in emergency accommodation, and they do. But sometimes there just isn’t enough accommodation, or the homeless people have pets, drug issues, or special needs, which makes it hard to rehome them. They end up living on the streets and looking for a bed in charitable night shelters in the wintertime. <a href="https://medium.com/bouncin-and-behavin-blogs/3-billion-spent-keeping-asylum-seekers-in-hotels-while-homeless-brits-die-on-the-streets-10d1bb60b328">Read More</a>
