Homelessness remains a serious problem in Britain in 1996, 30 years after Shelter was founded to highlight the housing problem and appeal for money to mount a rescue operation. The nature of Britain's housing problem has changed since 1966 when Shelter worked with housing associations to help people living in unfit slums and multi-occupied shared accommodation lacking basic amenities. There has been a huge rise in homelessness over the last 15 years, largely as a result of successive cuts in investment in public house building. Although home ownership has increased, so have repossessions.

CHAR, which campaigns for the single homeless, estimates that more than 1.5 million low-income households risk homelessness as a result of changes in housing benefit regulations. The changes, whereby housing benefit no longer covers the full cost of market rents, will push people further into poverty. CHAR points to family breakdown, a history of being in care, crime and health or drugs problems as reasons for youth homelessness. The Foyer Foundation is working to address the joint problem of homelessness and joblessness by providing training places, advice and support services for young people.

Alex Skann, director of social services at welfare charity Jewish Care, describes the steady increase in homelessness within Britain's Jewish community as a hidden problem. The economic pressures associated with the recession have led to families breaking up while home repossessions have increased. Poverty, abuse and the stress of family life have made living at home intolerable for some young Jews. However the stigma that Jewish families attach to homelessness makes some people reluctant to approach charities such as Jewish Care and Norwood Child Care.
