Meet the people in work but living rough on the streets 

I'm always so proud of the working homeless. My partner got a job when we were homeless for three months this year and held it down but he had all sorts of health issues at the time, like trench foot, and found it hard to find a shower. They have to go through so much, and still hold a job down anyway. That is to be respected.

I'm in the same boat I live in Oxfordshire and it's disgusting the prices around here to rent a room is 550 650 a month thats just for a room a flat is around 1200 a month your just working to live in housing no money for fun or pleasure just live for a roof over our heads no wonder people are suffering with mental health things need to change!

People who are working while homeless deserve immediate housing.

Just a never ending cycle of things that just aren't working here in the UK.

Here is the root of the problem: Minimum wage jobs in the UK don't pay enough to sustain the price of living here. Any ideas how we can fix this?

A man who sleeps rough for a couple of nights but knows he can return to his mansion anytime learns f**k all.

disgusting private landlords have taken over

For all the ones comfortable and living well..don't forget, it only takes a minute to be on the street. I wish all home less people all the best of luck and God bless them.

God Bless all the homeless my heart really goes out to them .

lockers and a pile of concrete culverts and a restroom/shower building would be a huge start for the people that can't get a roof yet.

Yet! 50 migrants turnup in a boat at Dover and get whisked off in a taxi to a 4* hotel😡

Great documentary folks let's keep it blessed and do everything we can to make this world better for our brothers and sisters. 💯🙏

Low paid jobs and greedy landlords not enough help it's disgusting how many of us are only a step away from it ourselves

It's almost impossible for somebody to go to work when they' are sleeping at night on the streets living on the streets they have no where to cook a meal and no where to have a wash and have to get up in the morning and go to work,, nobody could do this for a very long before they give up.. I find it hard to understand why somebody would even want to go to work and pay taxes when the government of the day are prepared to allow these people to live on the streets.. When Norman tabith said a few years ago go out on your bike and look for work it won't come to you he put nothing in place for those people that may have found a job to have somewhere to sleep at night..

Let's get something straight, sleeping outside for one night teaches someone nothing about rough sleeping. Sleep outside for one night is called camping and children do that.

The world is a lonely place without hope.

1. Before they could build up the millions affordable housing in some areas, why not transform some old buildings into shelters ? 2. The system has failed the peoples in many ways . a) Insufficient jobs b) wages are too low c) Room and house rentals are too high d) Rent and price of the properties are damn high without control e) Inflation rate is not under control f) Is there anything been doing to solve the poverty and homelessness ?

I learned tonight that there are homeless people who do work. I volunteer at a homeless shelter regularly but I am always doing overnights. So I never got to talk to the guests. But today I worked an earlier shift and learned something new.

DISGUSTING BANKS AND GOVERNMENTS HOPE YOUR VERY HAPPY.

Dont judge unless youve walked in someones shoes. Alot of people have no one and have many problems not chosen by them.

Just imagine, we define ourselves as civilised, yet people are living roughly. What a sadness.

sad sad narcissistic society we live in :(

2019 nothing has changed

To think that your royal family is living in the lap of luxury and spend millions for a wedding .

About time someone reported this. It's been this way since 2010

Whilst boat people are living in hotels, nice warm room, beds, 3 meals a day and £40 a week spends, WHY?

I remember being homeless and living in shelters and looking at Christmas trees and people going home and just wishing and waiting for it to be me. And finally I was able to get my housing. But I live in the u.s.

GOD BLESS ALL THESE PEOPLE 👏🏻❤️

No one who is working,should be homeless!

have some bad luck in life and anyone of us could be there

Here in Toronto, Canada, it seems like 1/3 of people are living ‘al fresco’ in our balmy winter weather.

And now it's 2020 and there's more homelessness!

This is rough feel sorry for these individuals makes you appreciate the little things you have in Everday life when I become wealthy I’m definitely going to do good for this world 100%

Rent is too high, we need rent caps.

It's just absolutely disgusting how we have got to this point in Britain today the political parties just don't care , homeless people need help

The tragic irony is that there is actually enough housing available in this country, it's just nowhere near where it's actually needed.

Fair play big respect I've worked and slept on streets it so hard so so hard but my heart goes out to ya big big big respect

I had to sleep in a tent for one month, and I was working. The wages deducted to cover the benefits I had before I have found a permanent work. No mercy, and no understanding

Britain 🇬🇧 being homeless in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 must be horrible it's wet and rainy 🌧

Horrible and shameful and it’s only gonna get worse for some on this universal credit absolute shambles!

Universal Credit = Hunger Games!!!☠️

It's crazy some people have two or three homes while some people have no home the government needs to do better

I hope that Danny and Carla's situation is much better now ! Danny is gold !

Count your blessings. I’m homeless in a MUCH colder place and would love UK weather.

i left britain in 1960 on free ticket to australia, anyone could have gone but they didnt want to go, northern australia is not a bad place to be homeless in

At some point in the last century, someone came up with a unique and workable way to make houses faster and actually affordable. Cement anyone? This individual made a contraception that had the MOLD of an actual house. Cement was poured into this mold and left to set. When set, the mold of course was removed. These houses were finished off in record time. The reason it did not take was because people did not like the layout of the house - or something like that. Nowadays, this is a real solution and should be reconsidered as a viable way to solve a deliberately created problem under a pretense to force people to find work that is not there relative to the population. What do you think?

Governments across the globe have got an awful lot to answer for.

Have a fundraiser benefit with business and locals for the homeless

Damm feeling sad for these people. Toris zero hours contact worse for working people good for others....

disgrace this zero hours hows anyone meant to pay bills and the minimum wage is NOT ENOUGH to pay bills

He's spent one night homeless, l hope it made him feel better about himself.

"A country that works for everyone."

And 6 years later things have progressively got worse

if you don't have enough money what can you do. Some people just get forgotten and nobody helps them.

This country has gone to shit

They thought Council Housing was bad, but sleeping on the street and the risk of freezing to death in the winter is far worse,

Cost of living goes up alot quicker than minimum wage....all the money in this country and we cant spend on helping the homeless its disgusting

We so often forget how blessed we are until we see these realities. Never think that it cannot happen to you, because all that is required is one of two things: some unwise decisions on your part or a change in your external circumstances for which none of us have control.

ONE NIGHT ON THE STREETS ISN'T ENOUGH - GET HIM TO SLEEP TWO WEEKS ON THE STREETS THEN COME BACK AND LECTURE ON IT.

Grant sapps,is after a gold star,maybe some glitter and prit stick,1 night on the cobbles haha

Mass scale pre fab houses cheap and quick yet totally dismissed..

How can you work and have a bank account in order to get paid if you're homeless. Are they also therefore possibly being exploited by an employer.

This is what david icke meant about the system repeating and highlighting bad situations but really they dont care because ignorance is bliss.

Oh yeah let's build more house's, for all the immigrants

Grant Shaps. The chocolate fire guard of politics. Empty words.

Same in Ireland !

My son and wife with their dog are homeless. He works full time but can't afford London prices. I've encouraged him to move somewhere cheaper outside of London , not sure what he's going to do.

Reminder to the church. “No room at the inn” open the churches 24hrs

The individual advocating at the 2:40 Mark has certainly been well fed! Everyone plays a part in homeless, I wonder if that advocate recognises that?

Homes should be built for the homeless. Perhaps those with a lot of palaces in this country should all share one Palace and one holiday home as they are very big and require a lot of staff and heating.

No one should ever be homeless.

There should be one off covid..tax on anyone who has more than 5 million pounds to spend on the homeless...billions will be raised..just need a quick legislation

Great Nick God bless you

When are the gonna make houses affordable. Or bring the wages up so the single person can afford the rent.. I mean under 21 gets penny's. What happens if you have no family for help. Your fucked

I was homeless adicted to heroin metherdon for 10 years around england im clean now

3 YEARS LATER.....More talk no action. Round and round they go.

It won't be long before I probably find myself in this situation again but with my children in tow, plans are in the making but I find many people round me in the same situation who don't posses the skills I have to do what must be done and survive I long understood that I can't and won't rely on the government as when I did I found myself left in despair and would rather live in a tent than put up with the nasty tricks they pull getting you into debt with them and there constant goal post changes so off grid is were we shall go

Yet the Tories still insist that employment is the way out of poverty.

the worlds a mess

Thank you so much for sharing I will solve this s problem

It shows that rent nowadays is terrible

How could this be

should help people who want to earn their keep get somewhere to live instead of giving homes to any 1 who says there mentally ill

Slept rough for about a month in total, couple weeks in Miami and couple in Europe, broke and no money The main concern, esp. in Miami, is safety, and then that you are tried all the time and so cannot really get enough energy to work or get out of the situation, and then keeping clean and watching your stuff In Japan they have 'capsule hotels' which work quite well - if they had those in US or UK would help. In Europe and Canada you can sleep in a park in summer and is OK A few times I got a bed in a hostel by agreeing to clean which is a good deal The upshot is I am now 50 and worth over a million so it worked out Problem now-a-days is that the dope-cannabis is too strong and makes you dumb, empty and 'gloomy on the pipe', i.e. short fused when not smoking usually

It’s Gods Duty to Help The Homeless Jesus Has Risen From The Dead ❤️❤️💖💖

Perhaps the homeless can speak with a foreign accent and claim to be refugees and they will quickly be given hotel accommodation

What has happened to Britain’s social safety net/ utopian schemes?

why is it native brits that are homeless

Good job

End zero hour contracts , end sanctions smash the skull ofToryism .

Going like America

I am not smartest ! It come from my own experience from the past ! Try to find privately rent rooms without agency's- is hart to find but is possible. No bank account? HSBC bank offer bank account without proof of address. Find / buy cheap (no MoT,insurance,road tax) van size of vauxhall combo, Peugeot Partner you will have space for two people and so called own place you can park on driveway or plot of land for free or small fee (£100 a month) is safer than sleeping on the street ! I've seen "few" time homeless people has been assaulted on London streets. You can try to stay at work place if your boss will agree - keep place clean and tidy ...

And also living in a room share house is not a life especially if you work you deserve at least a one bedroom flat which is not affordable.

The people with min wage they should be considerate not poor, is the rent to high take large slice from your pocket and not much money left end of the month to spend bit more in many struggle shops and we cant not really smile during the day because the pressure of money. Instead landlords smiling everyday and go in holidays every fornights

I think I would try to get myself locked up, after all you have nothing to lose, at least I will have a roof over my head and 3 meals a day.

It can happen if you work for MCD‘s

I feel it, man "dark and wet" on the street

Why is the help and the job for you people

United Kingdom 🇬🇧 homeless economic crisis

That is in Ealing. A lot of the people that attend that Centre are not homeless. Around 65% that attend that Centre are lonely and find it useful to obtain handouts meant for homeless user's.
