There are numerous reasons one could find oneself on the streets,for example,the young lad from mill hill was physically abused by his dad and the chap from red cap farm split up with his wife after coming home to her in bed with another fella (neither take drugs or want to be homeless),the chap outside the tax office however is allegedly protesting about benefits.
As far as efforts go,i can only assume they've tried to help themselves but it only takes a few hard knocks before depression got the better of them.
Where would i find the stats for homelessness applications in Accrington?
