"Number of homeless in England has risen for 3 years in a row". The United Kingdom has to deal with more and more problems as the number of homeless rises. With only the streets as a place to sleep, homelessness is becoming common across the United Kingdom. With an estimated number of 185,000 people per year, the percentage of rough sleepers in London is rising by 6% every year.  More homeless has to live in temporary accommodatiomn. One of the reason why there is an increase is because there is more people generally, so there's not enough housing for everyone. There is also not enough jobs for everyone, people that can't find jobs are forced to sleep on the streets. This causes the increase in homeless across the country.
