The Homeless Problem - full documentary 

Why this country have money to feed luxury royal families and refugees coming from the boats but no money for these homeless people??

The experts are just regurgitating information, the homeless are speaking from experience

I live in a block of flats in the UK. There's homeless people who sleep outside at the rear of the flats every night. They make alot of noise,and they take drugs and fight. They poo and wee just outside my bedroom window. I'm not criticising them. I'm just telling you what they do. If I give them money,they spend it on drugs. If I take my rubbish bags out to bin,they shout swear and ask me to give them more money. When I tell people all this,they think I'm a bad person because I criticising them. But I'm not criticising them. All this is what they do outside my flat. And I'm supposed to feel sorry for them? I'm supposed to feel empathy? You'll be surprised how quickly people's opinions change when it's their door step the homeless are sleeping on,weeing on,pooing on! If you feel sorry for them,go out and find one and let him sleep on your doorstep for a few nights!!!

Thank you to all those dedicated individuals helping people get back on their feet. Giving housing and support is the best model and has been proven to work in other coutries.

Once I had the misfortune of Being homeless I had two choices either a city park bench or a tent in the woods I chose the woods I had to be clever to survive a good example was when winter was right around the corner I needed to find a way to keep my tent warm I scavenged the woods around me looking for something I could use to heat my tent I got lucky I found a few iron pipes in some junk thrown over a hill and the iron pipes where exactly what I needed to heat my tent I already had a shallow fire pit about 6 ft from my tent so I dug a few trenches from the bottom of the fire pit to underneath where my tent was going to be I laid the iron pipe in the trenches and packed clay over the pipes outside inside I covered the pipes with river pebbles I set the tent back up and I made a rope frame over the tent to support sleeping bags and tarps when I started a fire in the fire pit the iron pipes got hot and I had radiant heat coming through the tent floor the bigger the fire the more heat I got and even when the fire went out the pipes would stay hot for a while longer I never had a cold day or night after that

If a person is left alone without purpose or hope and no social support, unneeded, why live? There are needs more important than housing.

what a very true comment. it only takes 2 lost paychecks to completely change your life, sitting in the job centers and going on your knees for benefits. whats happened to me. it really fu ks you up.

I feel sorry for the genuine homeless who were victims of circumstances and not the junkie chancers.

Great documentary, very informative Holistic help for the homeless, with more support from the government to integrate these human beings back into society is necessary. These people can support the economy! The people which recover from these horrid situations seem so compassionate, you can see it in their eyes. We all have the power to help this situation, even by just giving these people one minute of your time or a simple smile

Over 200 homeless people died in Toronto Canada alone last year. It is a significant symptom of an uncaring society

I'm homeless, I'm clean, I'm skilled, I'm responsible and I would like help, but no help is ever available.

Solution to homeless? Homes

This is rubbish. They spoke on everything that's broken in the system but said nothing about a solution

the true number of homeless in uk is wsy way higher id say 1 million folks easy ,the hostels bed n breakfast ,sofa surfing ,temp accodamation shared houseing plus the folks on the streets plus teenagers comeing out of care homes growing every year

Being homeless is a problem that many people have and the government should do something about it so that they find proper shelter.

They gave me an uninhabitable home and said if I didnt take it. Id make myself intentionally homeless, it has no hot water, central heating and the windows dont close causing damp and mold spores everywhere, the walls were holey aswell so im STUCK

A problem with homelessness, - but hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees given homes and places to stay immediately on arrival, including, but not exclusive to, four star hotels and free six bedroomed houses to Indians. It doesn't wash with me I'm afraid, there are hundreds of office blocks purchased by Councils for investment purposes, paid for by taxpayers money, left empty, only to loose value - when they could have been converted into self catering units for the homeless. Not to mention the millions of pounds being funelled into offshore accounts. We can spend money on Wars, we can spend money on immigrants, but we cannot provide good quality low cost accomodation for our own under privilidged. - Baffling and mind-boggling in the same breath. - Change is coming.

Very interesting thankyou OU.🙂

And I'm guessing all the homeless people are still homeless

Ahh no man George passed? really upset me at the end, beautiful playing. R.I.P

When you leave people homeless longterm, criminal behavioyr inevitably follows because it becomes a fight for survival for them. So more social support is the answer.

Poor men, more help needs to be given to help people be more independent and not reliant on anyone but themselves, this stops a false illusion that someone will come and resuce you should SHTF. Be your own bank and the best version of yourself mentally, physically and financially.

'intentionally homeless' what a joke.

The same problem in U.S. In both countries powerholders still live in colonial era and do everything for retaing an already lost power. The people are deprived of most essential rights because it cost enormously to be worlds police and owner when it had already become multipolar.

How abt the ones who make of begging and claiming to be homeless as a way of living ???

We are running out of road we all can see it but choose to ignore it ?

This is so rong very sad god bless them

Its not the problem. Just a direct consequence of runaway greed and government corruption.

The problem is being homeless, and JOBLESS. They go hand in hand. I have been jobless a couple of times in my life, but I have my own home. That was my base camp from which I set out looking for permanent or temporary sustenance. The US education system ought to teach the kids how to own a home and keep it. The American way is never to hope for things to be easy, but to make things happen. The homeless shouldn't expect things to be made easier for them. Go get 'em, and no buts. People are coming in from the southern border, and they aren't saying but.....

It is not the homeless problems , the country system got to be tight more survey , mapping of housing , workforce and job

No intentionally homeless , unless it a speculation to build a homeless home subsidize by the government and asking money from organization and public for the cause of theirs homeless shelte business not for sheltering homeless or their progress

Been homeless more times than I can remember.. I never ask for help . I go rural Officially Homeless at the minute.. I don't care I am used to it I work, I don't take drugs , I don't drink beers. I probably could get a proper home but tbh I enjoy the freedom. I currently live off grid in a cabin Im building Imo I don't take help I feel more homeless people than me are in more needy. -17c is the lowest temperature I have slept outside in. I survived

Nobody in a country as wealthy as the UK should end up homeless. Instead of averting your eyes, buy the homeless a cup of tea or a sandwich, toiletries or fruit.

Brilliant performance ❤

Academics quoting figures, oh whoopie do.... never any solutions though or you'd be out of a job

So, he had 4 or 5 expensive cars but zero savings....I truly do not understand stoopid people like them...I started saving money from the 1st paycheck onwards I ever got after university. Going from being rich and educated and having a well-paying job to homeless within a few months after losing a job is mindboggling to me! Do these people never plan and budget for more than 1 week? I can see why poor people with very low qualification and thus low pay and not much spare money for saving some, can get homeless after just a few months when losing a flipping-burgers-job, but HOW do qualified and well-paid people do this?

the housing speculation problem.

Homelessness is so normalized in Canada that nothing shocks me anymore. It's fascinating to watch the left claim to care but support globalism at the same time.

돈이 많은 집에서 태어난자는 돈걱정없이 살고 돈 없는 집에서 태어난자는 하루하루를 걱정하고 불안감을 가지며 산다 이게 맞는건가?

The increase in Rent is more than 2 peoples Incomes. I don't understand how people whom own private property can continue on this upward Trent. They may end up Bankrupt with no tenants. They do not have money to upkeep the property either.

😢😢

Landords up here chrge800 £ to rent a roomnin a house now unfurnished something neads to be dun anbout it, n im up north its cheeeper inbcentral london now u cn geet xa 2 bed flat for that.

The best solution if you are homeless is to get a mountain bike and build a parcel delivery trailer from scrap and deliver flowers, food, parcels etc.

Need to stop housing being bought by investors as second homes buy to let’s ect, it drives up housing costs and becomes unaffordable for low earners and the homeless community! It’s housing greed that makes housing unaffordable! I couldn’t afford to rent or buy and it’s more cost effective to buy a tent and live isolated

The govt.have abandoned their people and seem to give the impression that they are resigned to the fact that they are all leaving their seats and moving on. The country has become too dysfunctional now and there is nothing a govt can do about it. Its the broken promise after 1945 that while we should be thriving U.S . and co mispent the tax paying worker and many will be left in the lurch

Create fewer humans.

suppose they can allways sell The Big Issue outside the highstreet banks and sell the data. digital work can solve the problem IT training 4 many.

Can't they stay with friend or family until it gets better.

Just show the homeless people instead of the expert analysis

They expect the tenants to pay for repairs.

❤🎉✌😇🕊

Our own people on the streets people here illegally in 4 star hotels just about sums up the mess this country is in.

Austerity caused an already existing crisis to catastrophe

As an authority you don't know the numbers. My question is: Why you don't know the numbers? Are you pay for that? FFS, and I'm foreigner here ( ILR STATUS) And you don't know what you say, about it.

Wie man sich betted so liegt man.

VACANT. VACATION. HOMES.

The govt do actually deeply care about human rights and fair treatment for SOME of the population...................

God's Heavenly Kingdom is mankind's only hope Daniel 2v44 and psalm 37v29 😢

Academic waffle get rid of deadwood in councils use moneyto help homeless theres lots could be done.

do these program/ government people actually think it's ok for homeless to beg and drink in public??? how is that fair to hard working people trying to get to work, shop, visiting eateries,etc- we won't bring up the safety and crime, threatening people for money, or the health issues like exposing residents and renters to their diseases infected poo on the streets, stairs. It's very simple, don't break the laws and you won't get in trouble, and won't lose your apartment. It's about being responsible.

I'm poor because ss 100% they are homeless for ss experimentation but you know in middle east we don't like dogs what about you

Everyone applauds the UK/ EUROPEAN system and trashes the USA system. The main difference in the USA is that we have the worst, the average and the best in the world. You just have to fight for it or choose how bad you want it. People have moved from NY to FL and lived in trailer homes for $200.00 a month in rent. Even at $7.00 an hour most people in the USA could afford that … even if it meant going out and collecting tin cans at $0.05 per can. (Also, Catholic charities can give you one time help of $1,000.00-$2,500 to buy that trailer. Or the thousands of other not for profits). And you can choose to climb up from that. Or take a $60,000.00 job - no education, no training and do one of those oil jobs. If you are willing to part from the USA or your family and temporarily leave the country - and the $60,000.00 is tax free!! It depends on how bad you want something in the USA. If you are willing to move to another state, stop abusing alcohol, stop abusing drugs, ask your 15 year old kids to help out by getting a part time job. Moving to a college that has free day care at the college. The private system in the USA seems much better than UK or Europe. But you must make sacrifices and learn about all of these programs on your own. But thanks to the internet, this is a bit easier. It is also easier to find housing in the USA and people willing to take in foreigners - something private English and Europeans won’t do as readily as in the USA. Most citizens don’t care if you are a citizen; as long as your money is green in the USA. In Europe and in England it is the EXACT OPPOSITE. Even if you come from a wealthy nation and are White, it is hard to get a citizen to lease you a flat. So the USA has the worst in the developed world, but we also have average and the best in the world. We have quadruple the number of non profits in Europe and the UK, the hardest part is finding out about them and the willingness to do what is necessary. When I saw that some places in the UK only give out emergency food 3 times in a year to people … I was like WTF!! In the USA most people get a MINIMUM of 12 times a year!!! And even if you cannot prove you are in need, most churches give you food two months before they insist you bring proof. I saw these videos of people jumping through hoops to get a voucher BEFORE even being allowed to go to the church in the first place. In the USA, you just show up at the church/ food pantry.

Is the UK,a so-called Christian nation ??

DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS: Nothing but DRUGS

These poor people are Jesus's children .Jesus was homeless I learned .when you see them you are looking at Jesus .how you treat them is how you would treat Jesus.would treat them the way the Pharisees treated Jesus.or would you be compassionate help out.
