Have your say on ... homelessness

The invisible population of London – those without a home – is growing , according to the Evening Standard. But the problem isn't limited to London , and many fear that homelessness will only continue to increase at a time of squeezed budgets, repossessions and rising unemployment . As the government's cuts start to bite and as part of our people's panel series , we would like to publish the thoughts of readers who have experienced (or have family members who have) precarious housing situations or homelessness, and how they have managed to make do. We would also like to hear how they think the problem could and should be tackled by politicians, charities and the public. It may be possible to publish submissions anonymously if preferred. If you would like to participate, please email Jessica Reed ( [email protected] ) with a few lines about your thoughts, and add your username and phone number if possible. Please note that we may not be able to respond to all submissions.
