Homeless Sunday is organised by Housing Justice and Scottish Churches Housing Action. It provides an opportunity for churches and Christian groups join together to pray, reflect and plan practical action on homelessness, as well as provide ‘a united Christian voice to offer solidarity and be a prophetic voice for change’. We need change here in Birmingham. The statistics published by the Government last week showed that in October/November 2017 it is estimated there were at least 57 rough sleepers in Birmingham on any night. That is an increase from just 7 in 2007. This is unacceptable. Central and local government need o do more, as do the voluntary sector and all of us to tackle the issue of rough sleeping.
