Homelessness is a big issue in the world which we must try and stop as soon as possible. "The rise in rough sleeping" is one of the articles in the Economist which mostly focuses on how the number of homeless people has increased. It how there is a new survey by St Mungo's, a homeless charity, that puts facts and faces to a grim picture and how there are charities such as CHAIN that are trying to stop the number of people increasing. According to workers from the St Mungo's charity and other agencies around the country, rough sleeping has massively increased this year compared with last. The latest figures from CHAIN, the Combined Homeless and Information Network managed by the charity Broadway, show that 2,069 people were seen sleeping rough in London between July and September, 216 more than in the three previous months and 520 more than in the same quarter a year earlier. (East Europeans accounted for 30% of the total.) The amount of people dossing in stairways has doubled since last year and we must try to slow it down.
