The number of people who are homeless in Nottingham is ‘snowballing’ as more people end up sleeping on the streets.
One support charity is also warning the rise is happening at a time when fewer resources are available to help those reaching their lowest points in life.
By the latest estimate, roughly 40 people are sleeping on the city streets – significantly more than just a few months ago – and Nottingham City Council says an overspend on its budget for homelessness could hit £16 million by 2026.
