Homelessness
Briefing
Homes

Less
Than
Homelessness
(Shelter,
December
1992)
looks
at
the
economic
consequences
of
record
levels
of
homelessness
at
a
time
of
serious
shortage
of
affordable
rented
housing.
Packed
with
case
studies,
the
report
provides
substantial
arguments
for
the
provision
of
permanent
homes
rather
than
squandering
money
on
short-term
bed and
breakfast
costs
(£l~~
million
per
year)
or
hostel
places
(£~~7
million
per
year).
The
resulting
increased
health
costs
are
also
massive.
