Our Subcity

In this first bonus episode which is co-produced with the youth homelessness charity Centrepoint I interview Bob Blackman MP, who in 2016 was drawn in the private members ballot and used that opportunity to bring in the Homelessness Reduction Act.

In the last episode of the series I interview Derek Bernardi housing solicitor at Camden Law Centre. We discuss the types of cases he represents and the situations his clients experience.

In this episode we discuss potential solutions to homelessness. Looking at government policy and legislation like the Homelessness Reduction Act and rough sleeping strategy as well as individuals working hard to address the issue locally.

Part one of a two part episode looking at the causes of homelessness. This episode is looking at the wider housing market in the Uk and the difficulties those who are homeless face trying to access accommodation.

In this episode we are discussing homelessness statistics and housing rights. Looking at why the statistics around the number of people who are homeless aren't always accurate and examining how councils decide who they will house.
