BUNKER GOLD: Street Life – Why Britain’s homeless need their stories told
Tell us what you think of The Bunker in our Listener Survey – five respondents will get the Bunker mug or t-shirt of their choice.
On this week's Bunker Gold, let us take you back to September 2020…
There’s an unseen epidemic of people dying while homeless, and journalist Maeve McClenaghan tells their stories in No Fixed Abode: Life and Death Among the UK's Forgotten Homeless. She tells Dorian Lynskey what she learned, how there was more to the 2010s explosion in rough sleeping than just austerity… and a radical solution to homelessness: give people places to live.
• “From attending the funerals of homeless people I discovered how loved these people were”
• “Dehumanisation drives the violence which homeless people experience”
