We're all responsible for stemming the rising tide of homelessness
Someone who has experienced being homeless recently said to me: "The point of intervention has to come when someone calls for help." All too often that comes to late; vulnerable people only get the help they need when they have hit rock bottom. "You're already in a bad position, but you find it has to get worse so you can fit into a box to actually get help," he explained.
