Embarrassed, degraded and always on high alert.
That's how a Newcastle teen described his experience of sleeping on the streets after becoming homeless following the death of his baby sister. Daniel*, 17, said he found himself sleeping on the streets of Newcastle city centre after relationships broke down at home when his sister passed away in 2016.
When he could no longer afford to stay in hotels, Daniel soon found himself sleeping in bus shelters where he knew there was CCTV. But he was met with the constant embarrassment that he could be spotted by someone from college or work.
