The Lincolnite_The voice of Lincoln on homelessness 5Jan18

The number of applications for help with homelessness more than doubled in Lincoln since 2010, new figures have shown.

A 59.5% rise was recorded across all Lincolnshire authorities in total, and the highest homelessness figure was recorded in South Kesteven District Council.

Figures are expected to be higher still, since data did not include rough sleepers not seeking assistance from a local council.

Towards the end of 2017, housing charity Shelter suggested that at least 80 people were sleeping rough on the streets of Lincoln.
