The Foxton Centre in Preston has looked after the city's homeless population for years
An emergency accommodation unit for rough sleepers in Preston is full almost every night of the week, the Local Democracy Reporting Service can reveal.
“Everybody’s been suffering with the cost of living and also, during the early part of Covid, evictions were put on hold – whereas that has now been [reversed]. There is a lot of pressure on public services, too – it’s difficult to access a range of different sorts of services. “Then we can’t take new people off the streets,” Jeff added. However, he recognised the ongoing efforts of Preston City Council to try to secure longer-term accommodation for those people who have passed through what should be a temporary unit.
