More people are sleeping rough, says Crisis charity
Homelessness in England has risen by almost a quarter, and is even higher in London, according to the charity Crisis.
The economic squeeze and a shortage of housing are leading to more people sleeping rough and seeking housing from their local authority.
The charity says young people have been particularly badly hit.
Chris Buckler reports.
