theshoutingendoflife: musicfromblueskies: Who did they count?! Oh (in London) they count the amount of people that go through the city funded centres. If you ever see someone on the street with what looks like a festival band, it means they’ve been through one of those shelters and been given a case number or whatever so they are then “officially” homeless. Some of those places are often only marginally more pleasant than the street though so people stick with the less official shelters, which are funded by smaller charities and never really do any proper counting. If anyone wanted an actual answer, here is one given with enough confidence for me to believe it. -- source link
