Exclusive Premium functionality. There are those who are unable to manage everyday life after the death of someone they loved. There are the obvious practical challenges such as finding somewhere to live, sorting out finances and rebuilding relationships, but also the experience of homelessness often leads to or exacerbates problems: illness 10 per cent of TB patients have a history of homelessness , addiction, mental illness, isolation and loss of confidence resulting from low self-esteem are just some of the demoralising consequences of experiencing homelessness.
Returning to a structured life and re-engaging with society can be a long and pain-staking process. The causes and effects of homelessness are often interchangeable — for example, depression could have caused someone to lose their home, but depression could also be the result of becoming homeless.
There are many different reasons why people come to the UK. Some people come with the hope of making a better life for themselves or to make money that they can send to their families back home. Some people come here to escape countries where they have experienced violence, torture, famine, rape or lost members of their family. Many do find employment and housing. However migrants, asylum seekers and refugees are especially vulnerable to homelessness.
They lack a network of friends and family able to offer support in an emergency. Language barriers, understanding British systems and limitations around entitlement make it harder for them to access support services and hostel accommodation.
I came from a very good family background; I was brought up by my mother and father with my only brother and had a very happy childhood. My parents had extremely good morals and they instilled in me to be polite, respectful, honest and responsible.
Being mixed race - my father was Jamaican and my mother English — the challenges I faced in my early in life were difficult to deal with at times, but with the love of my parents and constant good advice made me strong and I turned out to be a very proud individual. I started working when I was 16 after leaving school and had never been out of work until last year. I led a life with plenty of money, doing whatever I wanted to do, travelling to many different countries. Life has been sweet and I enjoyed it until I was made redundant in May.
I was renting a 2-bed garden flat, and my redundancy package ran out while I was still looking for work. So I moved out and rented a studio. The council told me to get a tenancy agreement from my landlord for housing benefit — he refused and told me to get out.
I was blind as I had never been in this situation before. I spent weeks being told to go here, there, and everywhere. I became very depressed. My doctor put me on anti-depressants — I was suicidal, I had nowhere to go. I slept at different places and always had the car full of my life. Things got so low in November that I took an overdose and was hospitalised.
Thank goodness I am still here as it was a stupid thing to do, but my mind was not in its right frame. One day in December I decided this was not going to beat me and concentrated on being as positive as I could trying every angle to find work and get my mind right. I looked forward to seeing the end of the year, and concentrated on the new year as being the turning point in this hard, hard, testing journey of my life.
The new year arrived and everything has changed. I am in full-time work in an on-going temp role in the City, a place I love to work. I know a lot of people and shops around there.
I am going to see my bank in the City to see if they can help me with my debt situation. All my stuff is still in storage but I can now afford the monthly payments.
I have started saving a little each week and in a few months will be able to afford a deposit on my own flat. I want to say a huge thank you to the homelessness services that have supported me, and to all the other kind souls I met along the way that showed me kindness and made me strong. After several attempts Bill eventually accessed The Connection at St Martin's and has worked hard to move away from his previous lifestyle and it is genuinely heart-warming to see him not only making progress but also assisting others to make the transition away from a harmful lifestyle living on the streets.
I was sleeping rough for twenty years. I got into a rut, I got up every day and drank and at night you want to lie down and sleep. One night I was sleeping in a doorway and Adrian from The Connection showed some interest in me. He gave me a kick up the backside. My health was suffering. The most important statistics.
