Homeless Link, the national umbrella organisation for frontline homelessness charities, launched its manifesto for the next government on ending homelessness in our country once and for all. Written with input from agencies working on the frontline and people with experience of homelessness, the manifesto sets out 10 practical steps to achieve this challenging ambition in the next 10 years.
Ian Austin MP, Parliamentary Undersecretary of State, Department for Communities and Local Government, Caroline Spelman MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government and Julia Goldsworthy MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Communities all spoke at the event with great commitment.
Jenny Edwards, Chief Executive of Homeless Link, said, “We know there is a huge amount of work to be done, however, our sector, in partnership with local and national government, has a proven record of success. Less than a year ago the Mayor’s London Delivery Board focussed on the 205 most entrenched long-term rough sleepers as part of the national campaign to end rough sleeping by 2012. Less than a quarter remains sleeping rough and it cost just an extra £6,000. Something quite extraordinary is happening here. We firmly believe that people can change because we have the evidence that they can.
“We will not allow the most vulnerable in our society to be invisible. We want to see a Green Paper that will tackle the deep social exclusion of people with multiple needs.
These comments were supported by an inspirational speech from Martyn Warr, Learning and Development apprentice at homelessness charity St Mungo’s who, as recently as three years ago was sleeping rough on London’s streets. Martyn was one of the first successful applicants to St Mungo’s new Apprenticeship scheme, launched last year, and now works full-time for the charity at its client and staff training base in Southwark.
“After the death of my daughter, recreational drugs and alcohol became my solace. I didn’t realise I had mental health problems too. St Mungo’s has an army of people who helped me from the streets back into society. It was like being born again. Now I work on their apprentice scheme. I love going to work; it gives my life meaning. I am putting back into the pot that helped me.
Ian Austin MP said, “Everyone has the right to decent, affordable home – it is a basic human right. We must put housing and homelessness at the centre of the election and end the scandal of homelessness for good for the first time in history.”
Caroline Spelman MP said, “The report charts a very important direction of travel…Homelessness is a cross-cutting issue. Government is constructed in silos. We must puncture holes in the silos if we are to be effective in addressing multiple needs.”
Julia Goldsworthy MP said, “Homelessness is very complex. It is important we have an ambitious pledge that we can work to.”

Forgotten, by Martin Sasbry, is included in a book of creative writing and photography produced by Bradford charity Artworks Creative Communities and Bradford Alliance on Community Care (BACC)
Gary Staniforth, came up with the idea and has spent time in homeless hostels and had seen how many people used writing to express themselves.
Various workshops were held in hostels across Bradford to develop skills in in writing, rap and photography.
The book, titled Forgotten after Mr Sasbry's winning entry, was launched on Wednesday 27th January 2010 at Carlisle Business Centre with backing from various Ex- Homeless people, people who are homeless, musicians Jules Abbott & Boff Whalley of Leeds band Chumbawamba.
All contributors to the collection have been homeless or experienced homelessness at some point in their lives.
Martin Sasbry's prize-winning poem:
Cast out by the affluent, into the city streets.
The poor and the hurting, the broken and the beat.
Left to roam the dark alleys dying in their shame,
With nowhere left to go to escape their pain.
The food is so scarce, they're malnourished and they're cold.
The drugs rob their minds, while their broken bodies grow old.
Tears run down their cheeks as the days do slowly pass.
The day they drop down dead, will be the day they're free at last.
They know a life of poverty, they know nothing but fear and death.
They know a life of drugs, Heroin, Crack and Meth.
You can sometimes hear them crying, crying out to God above.
While they're begging for your spare change, they're longing just for love.
These are the FORGOTTEN people whose lives are governed by dope.
These are the FORGOTTEN people who've given up all hope.

The Inn Churches Shelter Pilot Project, initiated by Bradford Diocese's Church in the World group, is set to launch on 1 February for one month.
It will provide emergency accommodation for the homeless for 7 nights per week at a different church each night. (There are 7 hosting churches all within 2 miles of Bradford city centre.) Each church will host up to 8 men and/or women overnight on a weekly rotation, provide a hot dinner and breakfast, and be staffed by volunteers from their own church and other churches and Christian organisations. To date, 26 churches/organisations from across the Bradford area are involved and there is a wonderful intermixing of more than 65 volunteers from differing churches working together for the month. This initiative is working alongside Bradford City Council who has emergency provision for nights when the temperature drops below zero. The churches will be supplementing and providing regardless of the temperature.
Shawna Splawn from the Church in the World group, says, "God has really blessed this initiative already. Even in the bad weather there have been up to 32 people at the meetings. There is a huge desire among the churches to work together to help those in need. I'm quite in awe at the level of support and co-operation among the body of Christ in this area and I think it sets a great precedent for other ways of working together in the future."
As this is a pilot, the hope is that the project will be able to be set up for a longer period next year.
Start up funding of nearly £5,000 has come from the Church Urban Fund Mustard Seed Grant program. The Diocese of Bradford is handling that funding, but the project is "owned" by every church involved and decisions about process have been made corporately. These funds will be used to purchase the 'kit' for the shelter, to offset electricity and heating charges, to cover training for volunteers, and the payment for a project coordinator.
Three volunteer training sessions, assisted by Sanctuary Trust of Rochdale, will have taken place before the launch.
Referrals to the shelter will come from existing agencies, i.e. The Red Cross, Octavia Court, The Bradford Day Shelter and the voluntary sector, i.e. The Welcome at St. Mary's, St. Pio Friary, City Lights, Streetwise, Walking Free, and Hope Housing. All of the voluntary groups listed have been involved in the development of this project from the start. Housing Justice has provided brilliant advisory support from the beginning.
Donations of materials needed have offset some of our anticipated expenses, but we are seeking additional funding to cover transport of the shelter between the churches, for more information please contact Shawna Splawn

The Electoral Commission is reminding people living in temporary accommodation that they don’t need a permanent address to have a say at the next General Election.
The Commission, the independent elections watchdog, has produced a poster encouraging residents in shelters, hostels and B&Bs to discuss how to register to vote with their accommodation managers.
Peter Wardle, Chief Executive of the Electoral Commission said: “People eligible to vote who are living in temporary accommodation may not realise that they can still register and vote using their temporary address. By displaying this poster and providing a point of contact, accommodation managers can encourage those who are often disconnected from society to have their say.”
The project is being supported by Homeless Link an umbrella organisation for homeless projects and organisations. Chief Executive Jenny Edwards commented:
“Homeless Link believes it is crucial that those who are experiencing homelessness use their political voice to influence the environment in which they live and the services they use. We welcome the recognition of the importance of homeless people’s votes and are working to increase awareness of voter registration procedures.” click here
The Self help housing website provides ordinary people, who are perhaps unable to access mainstream housing or who want to tackle local problems, with the tools to take on and make use of the increasing number of empty properties in our cities, towns and villages It´s the first time that this range of information has been brought together in one place where it can be accessed by anyone.
Many of today´s large housing associations and co-ops were started up forty or fifty years ago by local people with just a couple of properties and so it´s not really a new idea; just one that needs reviving.
The site provides everything you need to know:
-how to get organised
-how to get hold of and borrow empty properties from their owners
-where to go for funding
-how to organise any necessary repairs
-how to use volunteers &
-how to turn renovating properties into a training opportunity.
-plus a bank of specimen documents
It also provides many useful contacts to enable you to find out what other people have done and achieved:
-case studies highlighting different types of successful projects
-a directory of projects already involved in self help housing &
-links to other organisations and website, click here
Failings in care that led to two unexpected deaths at a Bradford care home and one at a mental health hospital have emerged in an independent inquiry.
The review by regional health chiefs came after the deaths of two residents at Weaver residential care home in Idle and one death at Lynfield Mount Hospital’s Highfield Unit.
NHS Yorkshire and Humber has looked at the internal reports into the three “serious untoward incidents” as well as reviewing the unconnected visits by the Care Quality Commission regulator at Weaver Court which saw it given a zero star rating.
The report published reveals that: A 39-year-old man with Down’s Syndrome suffocated at the Highfield Unit in April, 2008 after inhaling mashed potato to such a degree that all efforts to save him failed. The risk of him choking had been recognised and dealt with in his care plan, but it happened on the first mouthful of food.
A 50-year-old male resident at Weaver Court died after emergency bowel surgery in June, 2008. A post-mortem examination found two surgical gloves in his rectum, but this was found not to be the cause of his death. He died of an infection of the colon complicated by a significant degree of ischaemic heart disease. He was known to access the clinical waste bins which contain faeces at the home and this could have been the source of the gloves and a possible cause of the infection.
A 62-year-old quadriplegic women resident at Weaver Court, died at Bradford Royal Infirmary in November, 2008. She had moved there three years earlier as a temporary measure when a nursing home closed down. She had a history of chronic chest problems and gastro-intestinal problems and was admitted to BRI on a number of occasions and had been fitted with a feeding tube to the stomach. There was a problem with the tube and an overall lack of co-ordination as her complex care involved many different agencies.
As a result of the probe by the strategic health authority a string of recommendations have been made which are expected to be the subject of an action plan put before Bradford Council’s social care improvement committee meeting next Wednesday.
The review has concluded that: There had been substandard practice in health and social care in relation to the three reported deaths l Action plans were immediately co-ordinated to address concerns raised and improve the service l Significant improvements have been, and continue to be made l The existing Learning Disabilities Commissioning Strategy, once fully implemented, has the potential to avoid the healthcare risks identified in the report.
The report also refers to the rating of Weaver Court by the CQC, which saw it being downgraded in July after failing in every category. The 17 specific areas which needed improvement have since been acted on and the home has recently received one star.

People who are worried about debt, housing and employment can get practical and emotional support from a new NHS helpline.
NHS Stressline callers will receive practical information and advice from trained health advisors. If they are suffering from stress, anxiety or depression, they will be directed to a wider package of financial and mental health support.
The Stressline number is 0300 123 2000 and it is open daily from 8am-10pm.
Debt can be a cause and a consequence of mental health problems, such as stress, anxiety and depression, but often people do not know where to seek help; nearly half the UK population worried about money and debt in 2009; a quarter of people with mental health problems experience debt, but a third of people these people do not seek help for financial difficulties; and average household debt in the UK is £9,120 excluding mortgages.

Direct payment for health care: a consultation on proposals for regulations and guidance
This consultation document seeks views on the Government’s proposals for piloting direct payments for health care. This is part of the wider pilot programme to explore personal health budgets announced in High Quality Care For All.
Personal health budgets are intended to help create a more personalised NHS, by giving people more control over their care. PCTs are already able to offer personal budgets that do not involve giving money directly to individuals. The Health Bill, which has now completed its main Parliamentary stages, would extend these options by providing power to allow direct payments, where the individual would be given the money to buy their own health care as agreed in a care-plan.
The consultation document describes how they intend to use the power in the Bill to make regulations to enable pilot sites to test direct payments.

Crisis carried out an undercover investigation (click here) into what happens to single homeless people when they ask their local council for help.
The shocking results show that councils are neglecting their legal duties to help single homeless people, often sending them away with little choice but to sleep on the streets. Sign our petition calling for change.
Crisis is calling for change
Crisis wants everyone who is homeless to get the advice and assistance they need to prevent and resolve their homelessness. This is more important than ever in these difficult economic times.
We are also calling on the Government to widen the homelessness safety net, changing the law so that everyone who is homeless is entitled to at least short-term accommodation while they receive the help they need to get back on their feet.

New Horizons: Towards a shared vision for mental health - consultation
Good mental health is fundamental to the well-being and prosperity of England. In the last decade, greater investment and reforms have transformed mental health care, but now we need to go further.
We need to target the root causes of mental illness and support the local development of higher quality, more personalised services.
New Horizons sets out ideas for achieving this. It explores the prevention of mental illness and earlier intervention when things go wrong. It also looks at how services can become more innovative and work more effectively together.
In particular, New Horizons focuses on how Government, services and communities can work together to: get everyone to play their part in improving mental well-being; make it easier for people to get the right help; promote equality and make society fairer; and reduce the stigma that people with poor mental health experience.
While New Horizons describes some clear ideas that have emerged during discussions with a wide range of people it is not a final document. There are still important questions to be answered and your response can help influence the final version, click here

Homeless Link research suggests there is no emergency accommodation for single homeless people in some local authority.
Homeless Link research published April 2009 suggest it depends on who you are & where you come from, and that there is no emergency accommodation for single homeless people in 1 in 4 local authority areas
Single homeless people, sometimes known as non-statutory homeless people, are those who do not qualify for help from their council with housing, even though they are homeless. They may include couples without dependent children.
The analysis in the Emergency Accommodation Report is based on the district/unitary authorities in England before nine new unitary authorities were formed on 1st April 2009.
The economic downturn is affecting everyone and placing an increasing number of people at risk of homelessness. While local authorities have increased their focus on preventing homelessness, they only have a duty to help house homeless people who are considered to be a priority need, for example, those with children. This is where the voluntary sector comes in, supporting those individuals who do not qualify for council help.
Two reports published today by homelessness umbrella group, Homeless Link, reveal a picture of the sector that, while in the grips of recession itself, is increasingly seeing “new” homelessness, driven by the economic downturn, with more expected.
The Survey of Needs and Provision (SNaP) shows a large sector with an estimated turnover of £800 million, providing up to 50,000 bed spaces for single homeless people across the country and employing 23,000 people, a quarter of whom are volunteers. The sector is providing a wide range of services to a diverse group of people to help them move out of homelessness for good.
However, another Homeless Link report exposes significant geographic limitations in accommodation options for those not entitled to council support, suggesting that 1 in 4 local authorities have no emergency accommodation at all for this group. Their options are therefore to move out of the area or to sleep on the streets. The survey also suggests that the majority of respondents don’t believe their ‘emergency provision’ is sufficient to meet the demand from single homeless people in their area.
Jenny Edwards, Chief Executive of Homeless Link, said, “Our members are telling us that demand for their services is increasing as a result of the economic downturn. At this time it is vitally important that there is a safety net available in every local authority area so that people do not have to leave their home area to find emergency assistance with housing at the time they are most vulnerable.
Our SNaP report shows us how important the services are that the sector provides and the wide range and number of people they are helping. But our survey of emergency accommodation has revealed disturbing geographical gaps that could have a devastating impact on an increasing number of individuals as people continue to lose their jobs.
It is important that we both protect funding to the sector at this time and support local authorities without provision to put something in place.”
