In ‘Enough is Enough: Brighton’s Homeless Deserve Better,’ we delve into the harsh realities faced by those living on the streets of Brighton and challenge the recent comments by Home Secretary Suella Braverman. It’s a call to action for the city to uphold its Homeless Bill of Rights and consider innovative solutions like a Homeless Healthcare Hub.
As announced by the Museum of Homelessness, Brighton and Hove have the highest death rates in England per 100,000, and second across the entire UK, beaten only by Belfast.
