Cost of Living Crisis

Crisis, the charity supporting people facing homelessness, explains why we are having a cost of living crisis. 

'People affected by the cost-of-living crisis in the UK have seen prices of rent, energy and food increase dramatically, while their income, such as housing benefit, has not increased proportionally. This has made it harder for people to make ends meet.

While the cost-of-living crisis is being felt by many, it is disproportionately affecting people who are already on the breadline, creating a perfect storm for people who were already struggling with unrelenting pressure.'
