[QUOTE="Jojo, post: 138639"] I have seen programmes and am a fan of Mary Ellen Mark's work on homeless Americans. I am also aware that many families in the U.K. live in bed and breakfast and hostels. But I am wondering if there are any homeless families in the U.K. That live in cars or are sleeping 'on the street' Do you know of any areas in the U.K. that there are families who have nowhere to live except the street? Will the coming recession put more Brits in the position of the American people who live in cars? http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://farm1.static.flickr.com/195/513666576_4bd538d63b.jpg&imgrefurl=http://thomashawk.com/2007/05/photography-of-mary-ellen-mark_25.html&h=402&w=500&sz=80&hl=en&start=7&um=1&tbnid=pdhwBtm93KvRyM:&tbnh=105&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dphotographer%2Bmary%2Bellen%2Bhomeless%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4SUNA_en___GB228%26sa%3DN If you are interested in this imagery I recommend you read the brief biography beneath the photo and take a look at her fascinating work Dr Science and reed, It is clearly a question and one I am curious about.
