THIS week, Labour, homelessness charities, housing campaigners and others have called for the government to repeat the Everyone In scheme from earlier this year to protect rough sleepers this winter as the country again enters lockdown.
As Labour’s shadow minister said, “On Saturday, the Prime Minister said: ‘From Thursday until the start of December, you must stay at home.’ For this to happen, it is essential that everyone has a safe place to call home.”
As part of this, 15,000 rough sleepers were helped off the streets by local authorities and charities. It literally saved hundreds (possibly thousands) of lives and showed that with the political will this scar on our country can be dealt with.
