Toasted golden, schmeared with insight. Top of the rack.
Summary
A new women's rough sleeping census in England has found that official government figures may be missing up to 10 times as many women experiencing homelessness on the streets. The census, led by Single Homeless Project and Solace alongside Crisis and Change Grow Live, spends a week searching in places where women may choose to sleep rough, rather than relying on single-night counts and local authority estimates. The findings reveal that thousands of women are being overlooked in official counts, highlighting the hidden nature of women's homelessness.
