Raising the Roof on Housing: a round-up of our member directed investigation

By The Meteor Team | November 3, 2020Editorial

The Raising the Roof on Housing series was funded by the generous donations of our supporters in a Crowdfunder we ran last year and its theme was chosen by Meteor Community Members.

The book - No Fixed Abode: life and death amongst the UK’s forgotten homeless - on a sleeping bag

Reversing society’s dehumanisation of the homeless, McClenaghan brings to life the hundreds of homeless dying on our streets every year

By Conrad Bower | October 18, 2020Culture

An early and lonely death is the ultimate fate for many at the sharpest end of the housing and homelessness crisis. Maeve McClenaghan’s No Fixed Abode documents how the first count of homeless deaths in the UK was created and brings to life the stories of those that died.
