Homelessness and the Housing Crisis: How To End Rough Sleeping (Sabrina Cohen-Hatton)

Homelessness is on the rise in Britian with record numbers of
people living in emergency accommodation.


Sabrina Cohen-Hatton, Chief Fire Officer of the West Sussex Fire
and Rescue Service, spent time sleeping rough on the streets of
Newport in Wales as a teenager.


Now, she is working to end homelessness and stop people getting
stuck in poverty.


Amol and Sabrina discuss what can be done in schools to prevent
homelessness, the stigma facing homeless people and how to stop
professions from being dominated by the elites.


They also talk about Sabrina’s work with Prince William's
charity, Homewards, and how poverty becomes a trap.
