Is this the blueprint for ending homelessness?
When Andy Burnham entered Downing Street in the summer, he said every rough sleeper in England would be offered a route off the streets by Christmas, and he’s now doubled the funding for that promise to more than £870 million.
As the number of rough sleepers is at it highest level since records began in 2010, Sarah-Jane Mee visited a charity in Manchester.
Embassy Village is a faith-based initiative, aiming to give rough sleepers a place to live, and the tools they need to one day get a place of their own – all while saving the taxpayer money.
