‘I Have A Job But I’m Homeless’: The Working Poor Who Can’t Afford To Rent
One in every 200 people in Britain is homeless – sleeping on the streets or stuck in temporary accommodation, including hostels and B&Bs, according to analysis from housing charity Shelter. But it might surprise you to know that despite not having a secure home, a small but significant proportion of people experiencing homelessness are in paid employment.

I think there needs to be something done about rental agencies being able to discriminate against people in receipt of HB. This seems to be a big contributor to the problem, although I acknowledge that low pay and high rents are the greater parts.
