A few days before World Homeless Day, that will be celebrated on 10th October, the British Catholic charity “Caritas Anchor House” has made an appeal for English and Welsh MPs to be contacted by citizens and called to support the “Homelessness Reduction Bill”, a new law for the homeless. For the first time, the law puts the needs of people who sleep in the street at the top of the list of priorities for the municipalities and will be discussed in Westminster on Friday 28th October. The “Caritas Anchor House”, which gives a home to over 230 people a year, defined it as “the most important reform in support of the homeless in the last 40 years”. In England, the official number of people without a home has doubled up since 2010 and risen by 30% in the last year, now up to 3569 people, even if it has been estimated that in fact 400 thousand people live in hostels, squats or on their friends’ and families’ sofas. Also today, the “Caritas Anchor House” has organised a lunch at Westminster, which will be attended by 250 celebrities to attract the attention of MPs and the public opinion about the tragedy of those who have no home. In Newham, the London neighbourhood in which the charity works, the number of homeless people is five times higher than in the rest of the United Kingdom, but the “Caritas Anchor House” is involved in a plan to extend its facilities, which will lead to build 25 small flats by November this year.
