Homelessness is rising across the United Kingdom, with thousands of people struggling to find stable housing as the cost of living and housing shortages continue to worsen. Reporting from Middlesbrough, this report follows the experiences of people sleeping rough and examines the structural causes behind Britain's homelessness crisis. Charities and housing experts say gaps in the welfare system, rising rents, addiction, domestic abuse and a lack of affordable homes are pushing more people into homelessness. The report also explores proposed solutions, including modular housing projects and government efforts to reduce rough sleeping by tackling its root causes.
