SOFA surfing is having “horrific” effects on people’s mental and physical wellbeing, Crisis warned today.
A new report from the homelessness charity says that eight out of 10 people who have relied on the sofas or floors of friends and family have suffered from poor mental health as a result.
The report, dubbed It Was Like A Nightmare — The Reality Of Sofa Surfing In Britain Today, was based on interviews with 114 people across 12 areas in Britain.
