The Government will fail in its mission to end rough sleeping if it does not address the chronic trauma suffered by people facing homelessness, a homelessness charity has warned.
The stark warning comes from the CEO of Oasis Community Housing following new research that reveals 94% of people facing homelessness have experienced one or more traumas that have left them unable to access the help they need.
The England-wide 'Trauma and Homelessness' study conducted by Northumbria University showed half of people facing homelessness have experienced five or more traumas, such as sexual or domestic abuse, violence, family death or war.
