Housing street homeless

[MrFishy]

You mite be aware millions have been spent housing street homeless people. It didn't stop them begging or moaning they cant live on £10 per day welfare payment. There rents are covered by the state but there not happy playing council tax or utility bills.

Right now most landlords are starting to evict them. I'd love to say this was a money issue.......its not.

Accommodating those with drug or mental health issues caused nothing but torment for there neighbours. From hoarders to loud music & open drug abuse the problems started from the start. While most local councils will crack down on antisocial behaviour there reluctant to take action if there mental health issues involved.

You'd think the fire service would get involved with hoarders in blocks of flats but there reluctant too.

Landlords are faced with removing bad tenants while local councils fight them tooth & nail. The process can take up to 6 months or longer.

In the mean time people are voting with there feet. Those who have endured months of antisocial behaviour and grown frustrated with the lack of action by councils and landlords are just moving out. Properties are now becoming increasedly empty and failing into despair leaving only those former street homeless occupying a few flats.

No landlord in there right mind is going to help out street homeless again after this. Its cost them time and money with little reward.

Since the start of the pandemic a great social experiment in housing the homeless was tried leaving few if any on the streets.

Its failed.

There on the streets for a reason, they cant live with others and no one in there right mind wants to live with them. Next time you hear cries of "help the homeless" think about all the time and money spend during the pandemic and the wasted opportunity many were given to turn there lives around. Street homeless isn't a housing issue... its a mental health problem and cant be solved just by putting a roof over there heads.

Putting every homeless person under the same label is wrong, though your point is valid for many.
We have far to many ex-armed forces on the streets for a start, but no fecker cares.
The govt/local councils will find places for Afghan refugees and illegal immigrants but not for our own (those who by no fault of their own are homeless). Something is very badly wrong with this fecking country.

You cant say after spending 105 million since Jun 2020 nothing being done. You cant say no one cares too.

I think we all need to face the fact no one wants them as neighbours.

As for the Afghan refugees and illegal immigrants they will spend the next 10 years going thru the immigration process. They have no control over where they live and can be arrested & detain at anytime.

I can and I will.
Of course nobody wants bad neighbours, will Gary Lineker take in a homeless person? He spouts enough shite on the issue. But no, the NIMBY in all of us says it won’t happen.
But to claim ALL homeless people are the same is naive in the extreme.

10 years???? They will disappear within a year. Only to emerge on a crime statistic.

Street homeless are what we used to call "tramps". A mix of ex offender's & mentality ill with addiction issues. I'm not talking about those with a history of work or left an abusing relationship or those with children.

And I think your a little out of date on illegal immigrants. The government made it almost impossible to live here illegally. In the past once you had a national insurant number, bank account and driving licence you could vanish. These days if your marked for deportation there a flag on your ni number. Bank accounts are the same and new driving licences have to be renewed after a few years. There no access to health care or welfare benefits. Even council tax offices will flag undocumented workers.

If you take a look at the Windrush scandal it will give you a better idea the hostile environment created in the last few years for illegal immigrants and those facing deportation.

If you jump off a boat today down in Kent and avoid the UK border agency.....you cant get bank account, driving licence or ni number. If found you face jail time. No landlord will take you too, there a fine if they do.

You will just be exploited by members of your own community. In other words a modern slave.
