Varle Report

A State of Emergency Across Developed Nations

Today in 2017, over 100 million people worldwide are homeless.
They have no shelter. No security. No hope.

UK homelessness expenditure exceeds £1 billion each year.
The human costs, however, are much higher.

Homelessness is dangerous, destructive and damaging,
to any individual or household.

Ultimately, it can be fatal.

The average homeless person has a life
expectancy of just 47 or 43; for men and women respectivelyi
.
As a society, what can we do?

We can ignore it.

We can manage it.

Or,

WE CAN SOLVE IT.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
