'Emergency on our streets' as rough sleeper deaths rise
The Guardian
|October 16, 2024
Andrew Reece was 37 and sleeping rough in Stoke-on-Trent when on 10 May 2023 he took his own life in an abandoned children's home.
Reece was one of an estimated 155 people who died in the UK last year while rough sleeping, an annual rise of 42%, according to a count by the Museum of Homelessness project.
The jump in fatalities, described by the organisation as "an emergency on our streets", appears to be disproportionately large compared with the government's estimate of the rise in rough sleeping, which in England increased 27% over a similar period.
The museum's count, which used different methods to official figures, also found that at least 38 people took their own lives while homeless in the UK in 2023, half of them under 35.
