There are fears that changes to a 21-bed night shelter service has put the homeless community in Belfast at risk.
A member of staff working with the Salvation Army has said the changes to the night shelter service in Belfast City Centre has had a huge impact on some of the most vulnerable who are sleeping on the streets and believes that the service needs to return urgently.
They told Belfast Live that if the former night shelter service was still in place, then some of the recent deaths among the homeless community may not have taken place, as they would have been sleeping somewhere safe.
