Homelessness Is Worst In Some Of London’s Richest Boroughs, New Research Reveal<\/b>
\nSome of London\u2019s richest borough have some of the highest homelessness rates in the country, new research has revealed.<\/p>\n

In the most extensive review of its kind, homelessness charity Shelter revealed the worst boroughs around the UK for rough sleeping and people being housed in temporary accommodation.<\/p>\n

Most of the worst performing boroughs were in London, with some of the richest coming out as the worst.<\/p>\n

Westminster, which has an average income of \u00a3104,000, has a total of 8,054 people homeless, equivalent to one in 31 people. It\u2019s national ranking was 3rd worst.<\/p>\n

Kensington and Chelsea, where the average income is \u00a3158,000, had a total of 4,401 people registered homeless, equivalent to one in 36. This left it as the fifth worst borough in the country.<\/p>\n

The borough of Newham came out worst of all, with a total of 13,607 people registered homeless, equivalent to one in 25 people.<\/p>\n

Deserae Plante has lived in temporary accommodation since 2009 but was moved out of her accommodation in Westminster, first to Haringey and now to Romford in Essex.<\/p>\n

The single mother told HuffPost UK she was \u201cgutted\u201d at how her case was handled, adding: \u201cIt\u2019s one of the richest boroughs in the country but it still has so many housing issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plante, who has four young daughters, spoke of the effect that her experience had on her mental health.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI don\u2019t want to go out any more, I hardly want to associate with people. I just want to keep myself to myself because I just feel down.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019m in a prison…I get really, really depressed because of this whole housing issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cWe are people too, we might not have the money but we\u2019re people too and we need to be treated equally. You shouldn\u2019t treat someone better because they have more money than someone else. We\u2019re all human.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside London, areas such as Luton, where 1 in 52 people are homeless, Birmingham (1 in 88) and Manchester (1 in 154) also featured in the top 50.<\/p>\n

Shelter\u2019s research found that in total, there are 307,000 people living in temporary accommodation and sleeping rough, equivalent to one in 200 people. This is 13,000 more people than last year.<\/p>\n

Polly Neate, chief executive of Shelter, said: \u201cIt\u2019s shocking to think that today, more than 300,000 people in Britain are waking up homeless. Some will have spent the night shivering on a cold pavement, others crammed into a dingy, hostel room with their children. And what is worse, many are simply unaccounted for.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn a daily basis, we speak to hundreds of people and families who are desperately trying to escape the devastating trap of homelessness. A trap that is tightening thanks to decades of failure to build enough affordable homes and the impact of welfare cuts.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs this crisis continues to unfold, the work of our frontline services remains absolutely critical. We will do all we can to make sure no-one is left to fight homelessness on their own. But we cannot achieve this alone; we urgently need the public\u2019s support to be there for everyone who needs us right now.\u201d
