The majority of people

living rough only start

to abuse drugs and

alcohol after they have

found them selves

homeless. Drugs and

alcohol are one of the

main causes of death

for people living on the

streets, accounting for

more than one third of

homeless mortalities.

Living on the street

is tough on the body

lowering the immune

system making the

homeless prone to

infection and disease.

People in this situation

are twice as likely to die

from infection than a

member of the general

public.

This man has serious

mental health issues, he

cannot work or keep up

with his rent payments.

Mental health is

considered to be both

cause and consequence

of homelessness. The

homeless are twice

as likely to develop

a metal health issue

than a member of the

general public.

The homeless are three

times more likely to

be hit and killed in a

motoring accedent in

compariso to memebers

of the general

population. This statistic

will only increase with

the rising number of

homeless people on

British streets.
