A man in Salford has shared his experience of being homeless after the city declared the problem a crisis - with growing numbers of people struggling to find somewhere to stay. • The rise in demand for temporary shelter led the council to set up a 'welfare hub' before Christmas, putting down blow-up mattresses and sun loungers in an empty school building to prevent people sleeping on the streets. • Salford City Council said that 49 people have used the welfare hub since it was set up on December 20, and 37 of these were from outside the UK and European Economic Area. • The Mayor of Salford - Paul Dennett - has blamed the Government's accelerated asylum scheme for the rise, claiming that people are being made destitute by the Home Office which is essentially evicting them from their funded accommodation. • Continue reading at Manchester Evening News: • 'I was sat in a freezing cold park and didn't think I'd make it through the night - now I'm here' • https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.... • The Manchester Evening News covers news, entertainment, sport, and what's happening around the region - and has done since 1868. • Follow us on our Social channels: • Twitter: / mennewsdesk • Facebook: / manchestereveningnews • Instagram: / manchestereveningnews • LinkedIn: / manchestereveningnewsbusiness • Website: https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ • If you have a story tip or something you feel we should be investigating, you can email [email protected] or call on 0161 832 7200. • LIKE | COMMENT | SUBSCRIBE | SHARE • #ManchesterEveningNews #Salford #homelessness #homeless #manchester #ukpolitics #housing #costofliving
